PROCESS FOR THE HYDROISOMERIZATION 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 the wax to convert 60 -95 weight percent per pass of the 700.degree.F+ fraction contained in said wax. The catalyst employed is a fluorided Group VIII...

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