Abstract
A shape-selective hydrocracking catalyst prepared by making a composite of a hydrogenation component and a natural ferrierite that has been treated with oxalic acid to impart thereto catalytic activity for converting slightly branched as well as straight chain hydrocarbons. The catalyst is useful for hydrodewaxing and for upgrading naphtha.
Claims12
A catalyst composition comprising natural ferrierite treated by contact with oxalate ion under conditions effective to impart to said ferrierite a Constraint Index from about 1 to 12, and at least one hydrogenation component selected from the metals of Group VIA and Group VIII of the periodic table.
