Abstract
A process and catalyst for the conversion of hydrocarbons is disclosed. The catalyst is supported solid perfluorinated polymer containing pendent sulfonic acid groups. The processes include alkylation of isoparaffins, isomerization of normal alkanes, disproportionation of toluene, and the alkylation of benzene.
Claims8
A catalyst composition comprising a solid perfluorinated polymer catalyst support on an inert porous carrier having an average pore diameter of between about 50 A and about 600 A in a weight ratio of catalyst to support of between about 0.1:100 and about 20:100 wherein said catalyst contains a repeating structure selected from the group of:
- ##STR9## where n is 0, 1 or 2;
- R is a radical selected from the group consisting of fluorine and perfluoralkyl radicals having from 1 to 10 carbon atoms;
- and X is selected from the group consisting of:
- [O(CF.sub. 2).sub.m ], [OCF.sub.2 CFY] or [OCFYCF.sub.2 ]
- where m is an integer from 2 to 10 and Y is a radical selected from the class containing of fluorine and the trifluoromethyl radical.
