Abstract
In this work, we studied the process of hydroisomerization of n-hexane on various industrial nickel-containing catalysts. Ni/diatomaceous earth and NiCr2O3, which were not previously used in the isomerization process, but were used in various industrial processes, were used as catalysts in this process. For comparative purposes, the studies varied the hydrogen to feed ratio to varying degrees and calculated the conversion and isomer yield on both catalysts, which are key process indicators. On the basis of the studies performed, the optimal mode of the n-hexane hydroisomerization process on the studied catalysts was selected. Keywords: hydroisomerization, n-hexane, nickel-containing catalysts, yield of isomers, conversionKeywords
