Kinetics of C5/C6 isomerization in Light Straight Run Gasoline (LSRG) over platinum mordenite zeolite

This article is the result of comprehensive study about isomerization process of light paraffin, including: Mechanism of reaction, laboratory tests and determination of kinetic equations. At the first, the history of isomerization process is described and following that the types of methods and catalysts are considered, then the effective factors are pointed and experimental results of Geomechanical pilot on feed of a refinery in Iran will be considered. At the end, the final conclusion based on experimental results will be presented and finally the rate of equation will be offered.
