Catalyst, and process for the selective hydrogenation conversion of normal paraffins to lighter products of normal paraffin-rich

摘要

Catalyst and method is suitable while minimizing the formation of isoparaffins, to the hydroconversion lighter normal paraffin product heavy normal paraffins. Catalyst and method can be used for any raw material containing waxy lubricant fraction, the heavy normal paraffin, such as a Fischer-Tropsch product or slack wax. By selectively formed from the heavy normal paraffin product of normal paraffin-rich, it is possible to reduce or eliminate the need for purification processes and normal paraffin separation.
