Abstract
A catalyst composition and process for the conversion of linear and/or branched paraffin hydrocarbons based on the use of an ionic liquid catalyst in combination with a Brønsted Acid, which provides a catalytic composition with an increased activity compared with said ionic liquid. Under suitable reaction conditions this conversion is leading to paraffin hydrocarbon fraction with higher octane number.
Claims10
A catalyst composition for use in a hydrocarbon conversion process with the provision that the hydrocarbon conversion process is not cracking of polymers, which composition comprises
- (a) an ionic liquid catalyst with an N-containing heterocyclic and/or aliphatic organic cation and an inorganic anion derived from metal halides or mixed metal halides, and
- (b) one or more Brønsted Acids.
A process for isomerisation of paraffinic hydrocarbons by contacting a feed stock comprising the paraffinic hydrocarbons with a composite catalyst according to any one of the preceding claims at process conditions being effective in the isomerisation of the paraffinic hydrocarbons.
