Process for the isomerisation of straight hydrocarbons containing at least 7 carbon atoms using catalysts with a base of molybdenum oxycarbide

摘要

A process for isomerizing straight chain hydrocarbons having at least seven carbon atoms by forming a reaction mixture including at least one of the straight chain hydrocarbons and hydrogen and passing the reaction mixture over a catalyst including a molybdenum compound, at least the surface of which is formed of molybdenum carbide partially oxidized in the form of at least one oxycarbide.
