Abstract
In an isomerization process where the isomerization effluent () is fractionated in a deisohexanizer () to provide an overhead () containing dimethylbutanes and a higher boiling fraction () containing normal hexane, the higher boiling is contacted with a selectively permeable membrane () to provide a retentate containing methylcyclopentane (). If desired, the normal hexane-containing permeate can be recycled for isomerization. The preferred membranes are sieving membranes having a CPermeate Flow Index of at least 0.01 and a CPermeate Flow Ratio of at least 1.25:1.
