<p>PROCESS AND APPARATUS FOR SEPARATING BRANCHED- FROM UNBRANCHED HYDROCARBONS A process for separating branched- from unbranched hydrocarbons comprising the following steps: (i) contacting a mixture comprising branched- and unbranched hydrocarbons with a fluidized bed comprising a particulate molecular sieve capable of selectively adsorbing unbranched hydrocarbons, and removing branched hydrocarbons therefrom; and (ii) removing unbranched hydrocarbons from a fluidized bed comprising a particulate molecular sieve which has adsorbed unbranched hydrocarbons by contacting it with a hydrogencontaining gas. The invention further relates to an apparatus suitable for carrying out said process and to a process for the isomerization of unbranched hydrocarbons.</p> |
