Abstract

A review of the literature on the catalysts of hydroisomerization of long-chain paraffins is presented. Part I describes the mechanisms of paraffin hydroisomerizations and presents an analysis of data on the catalysts of hydroisomerization based on zeolites of various types. Part II is devoted to catalysts based on structured mesoporous materials, partially reduced molybdenum oxides and oxycarbides, and mixtures of tungsten and zirconium oxides. Industrial catalysts that have found use in isodewaxing of diesel fuels and oils are described.
