PROCESS FOR PRODUCTION OF HIGH OCTANE GASOLINE FROM STRAIGHT RUN LIGHT NAPHTHA ON Pt CONTAINING HZSM - 5 MOLECULAR SIEVE CATALYST

摘要

The present invention relates to a process for the production of high-octane gasoline from straight run light naphtha on Pt containing HZSM-5 molecular sieve catalyst. The preparation of the catalyst for the process does not involve the steps of steaming and acid leaching before the actual catalytic application. The mentioned catalyst is environmentally friendly as the preparation does not involve the use of hazardous mineral acids, viz., HC1, HNO3 etc.
