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.
Claims14
A process for selectively hydrocracking straight chain and single methyl-branched hydrocarbons from a feed selected from the group consisting of reformate and waxy hydrocarbon oil comprising contacting said feed and hydrogen under conversion conditions with a catalyst composition comprised of natural ferrierite treated by contacting it with an oxalate ion under conditions effective to impart to the ferrierite a Constraint Index from about 1 to 12, the ferrierite further comprising at least one hydrogenation component selected from the metals of Group VIA and Group VIII of the Periodic Table.
