Abstract
The hydroisomerization of a paraffinic hydrocarbon feedstock obtained from renewable sources is effectively achieved by passing the feedstock in the presence of hydrogen over a hydroisomerization catalyst comprising a crystalline metal silicate molecular sieve, in which a portion of the crystalline framework contains iron.
Claims20
A process for the hydroisomerization of a paraffinic hydrocarbon feedstream comprising contacting said hydrocarbon feedstream with hydrogen, and a catalyst comprising a crystalline metal silicate molecular sieve containing iron in the crystalline framework, and yielding a product having an increase in branched hydrocarbons relative to said feedstream.
