Process to convert linear alkenes selectively using high concentrations of AMS-1B crystalline borosilicate catalyst

摘要

A process to convert a substantially linear alkene, such as n-butene, to isomerized products comprises contacting such alkene under conversion conditions comprising a temperature of above 300 DEG C. to about 650 DEG C. and an alkene reactant partial pressure of less than about 0.4 atmospheres with an AMS-1B borosilicate catalyst composition containing at least 50 wt. % hydrogen from AMS-1B incorporated in an inert binder.
