Popis: 1. A process has been developed for low-temperature isomerization of n-butane on an NIP-66 catalyst. 2. The process parameters have been studied and the conditions for effecting isomerization of n-butane selected. 3. The catalyst has been subjected to prolonged tests under the selected conditions; it exhibited satisfactorystability over a period of 2000 h. 4. The technological indices of the process based on electrolytic hydrogen and on hydrogen-containing reforming gas have been determined. At 200‡C, 20 atm, an n-butane feed rate of 1.0 h−1, and a 1∶1 molar ratio of hydrogen to n-butane, the isobutane yield was about 45 wt. %, which is about 80% of the equilibrium value. The yield of the decomposition products was 2.9 wt. % for electrolytic hydrogen and 4.3 wt. % for reforming gas.
