ABSTRACT:
A process for reactivating a used n-alkane (preferably n-butane) isomerization catalyst comprising platinum, chlorine and a support material comprises contacting the catalyst with flowing hydrogen gas for at least about 1 hour at a temperature of below about 440.degree. F. Preferably, this reactivation process is carried out as an intermittent step in the hydroisomerization of at least one C.sub.5 -C.sub.7 normal alkane (preferably n-butane).
