Catalytic isomerization process using a silicoaluminophosphate molecular sieve containing an occluded group VIII metal therein

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6069314
An isomerization process is described of catalytically reducing the normal paraffin content of a hydrocarbon oil feedstock containing straight chain hydrocarbons which comprises contacting the oil feedstock with a catalyst comprising an intermediate pore size crystalline silicoaluminophosphate molecular sieve, and at least one platinum or palladium metal component which metal component is occluded in the molecular sieve. The molecular sieve resulted from the growth of crystals of the molecular sieve from an aqueous medium containing a water-soluble compound of the platinum or palladium metal.
