Process for olefin isomerization

摘要

A process for the double bond isomerization of olefinic feed compounds is provided comprising contacting the olefinic feed compounds and a catalyst under reaction conditions sufficient to produce double bond isomerization, wherein the catalyst is an aluminophosphate-containing molecular sieve with pores having a diameter in the range of about 3.8 Å to about 5 Å. The process provides high conversion of normal alpha-olefins and high selectivity for linear internal olefins.
