Abstract
An improved process for isomerizing hydrocarbons using a catalyst which is periodically regenerated to remove carbonaceous deposits, the catalyst being comprised of a mixture containing, as a major component, an isomerization catalyst free of carbon monoxide-oxidizing metals or metal compounds, and, as a minor component, an isomerization catalyst which contains small amounts of a metal or a compound of a metal selected from vanadium and the metals of Groups IB, VIB, VIIB and VIII of the Periodic Table. The process is particularly suitable for the isomerization of metaxylene to a mixture of orthoxylene and paraxylene.
