WERKWIJZE VOOR HET ISOMERISEREN VAN ALKYLAROMA- TEN.

摘要

An alkylaromatic hydrocarbon is isomerized by contacting a feed including the alkylaromatic and hydrogen in the presence of 1.5-150 ppm free chloride, and not more than 10 ppm water, with a catalyst containing platinum, rhenium and more than 1.2 weight percent combined chloride on an alumina support at 650 DEG -950 DEG F and 100-300 psi hydrogen pressure.
