| abstract |
The catalyst of the present invention comprises a hydrogenation / dehydrogenation component such as a noble metal which is deposited on the acidic solid product produced by modifying the group IVB metal oxide with an oxyanion of the group VIB metal. An example of this catalyst is platinum deposited on zirconia modified with wetstate. Catalysts can be used, for example, to isomerize C 4 to C 8 paraffinic compounds. |
