PROCESS FOR THEHYDROISOMERIZATION OF WAX TO PRODUCE MIDDLE DISTILLATE PRODUCTS

A process for selectively producing middle distillate fuel products from paraffin waxes such as slack wax and Fischer-Tropsch wax by hydroisomerizing (in R-1) the wax to convert 60-95 weight percent per pass of the 700+ DEG F (371.1+ DEG C) fraction contained in said wax. The catalyst employed is a...

Zusammenfassung:A process for selectively producing middle distillate fuel products from paraffin waxes such as slack wax and Fischer-Tropsch wax by hydroisomerizing (in R-1) the wax to convert 60-95 weight percent per pass of the 700+ DEG F (371.1+ DEG C) fraction contained in said wax. The catalyst employed is a fluorided Group VIII metal-on-alumina catalyst wherein the fluoride within the catalyst is present predominately as aluminum fluoride hydroxide hydrate. The preferred Group VIII metal is platinum.
