ABSTRACT:
An isomerization process maximizes the production of 2,3-dimethylbutane by using an arrangement of two reaction zones that operate at low conversion conditions to maximize the production of a methyl pentane containing intermediate and limit the interconversion of 2,3-dimethylbutane to 2,2-dimethylbutane. The process converts a feed comprising normal hexane in a first reaction zone. The effluent from the first reaction zone has a high concentration of methyl pentanes which is separated from normal hexane and passed to a second separation section that receives the effluent from a second reaction zone. Methyl pentanes from the first and second reaction zone effluents enter the second reaction zone for conversion to dimethylbutane in a high 2,3-dimethylbutane to 2,2-dimethylbutane ratio. In this manner the process produces a principally dimethylbutane product having a relatively high octane rating as a result of the high 2,3-dimethylbutane concentration.
