Abstract
The present invention is directed to a process for isomerizing light paraffins by using a catalyst containing a zeolite selected from the group consisting of CON- and TUN-type zeolites, and at least one Group VIII metal. It has been found that the CON- and TUN-type zeolite catalysts of the present invention selectively convert C6 paraffins into the more favorable higher octane C6 isomer, namely 2,3-dimethylbetane (RON 101.0), over the less favorable C6 isomer, namely octane 2,2-dimethylbutane (RON 91.8).
