A ZEOLITE-CONTAINING HYDROCARBON CONVERSION CATALYST AND THE PREPARATION THEREOF

摘要

The catalytic properties of a metal-containing acidic zeolite catalyst are significantly improved by converting said metal to an intermetallic compound. Thus, for example, zeolite beta containing the intermetallic component platinum silicide demonstrates improved catalytic properties for paraffin isomerization as compared to zeolite beta containing platinum metal alone.
