Abstract 

 
   Hydroisomerization of Iraqi light naphtha was studied on prepared Ni-Pt/H-mordenite catalyst at a temperature range of 220-

300°C, hydrogen to hydrocarbon molar ratio of 3.7, liquid hourly space velocity (LHSV) 1 hr
-1

 and at atmospheric pressure. 

The result shows that the hydrisomerization of light naphtha increases with the increase in reaction temperature at constant LHSV. 

However, above 270 
0
C the isomers formation decreases and the reaction is shifted towards the hydrocracking reaction, a higher 

octane number of naphtha was formed at 270 °C. 
        
Keywords: Iraqi light naphtha isomerization, Nickel-Platinum over H-mordenite.

1- Introduction 
 

   The utilization of an upgraded low-value refinery 

stream to the gasoline pool might present a solution to the 

problem, as it can considerably lower the cost of gasoline 

production, while loses only some of its original quality, 

but still remains environmentally friendly. The use of 

bifunctional zeolite catalysts specifically designed to 

enhance the octane number of light nuphtha through the 

hydroisomerization process has already been 

marketed.[1].  

   However, this application has not yet been 

commercially extended to include the treatment of heavy 

naphtha, which usually contains normal alkanes from the 

Heptane range to Decane [2]. 

   Isomerization, cracking and alkylation are acid-induced 

reactions. The catalyzad hydrocarbon reactions are of 

great importance nowadays and it is not surprising that 

many studies have been devoted to this subject. However, 

important questions remain regarding the mechanism and 

effect of catalytic pore structure on the activity and 

selectivity to answer. [3]. 

   Isomerization of n-paraffin to branched paraffin is 

important in petroleum refining industry for improving 

motor fuels properties such as high gasoline octane 

number [4], diesel fuel with high cetane number, low pour 

point and high viscosity index. To accomplish high 

isomerization selectivity; balance between the active 

component (metal) and acid functions is needed [5].  

   More studies about isomerization to produce high 

quality gasoline such as Vaudagna,  [6] indicated that 

loading of Pt on WO3/ZrO2 have positive effect on the 

rate and selectivity of alkanes isomerisation in the 

presence of hydrogen.  

   The Pt metal was impregnated into the WO3/ZrO2, so 

that the catalysts contain 0.4wt. % of Pt and the Pt/ 

WO3/ZrO2 calcined to a temperature of 830 
0
C (at 20 C 

min
-1

) for 3 hours. The specific surface area was found to 

increase to more than 350m
2
/g.  

   Al-Hassany M. [7] studied that Light naphtha treatment 

achieved over 0.3wt%Pt loaded-alumina, HY-zeolite and 

Zr/W/HY-zeolite catalysts at temperature range of 240-

370 °C, hydrogen to hydrocarbon mole ratio of 1-4 with 

liquid hourly space velocity (LHSV) 0.75-3 hr
-1

,  and at 

atmospheric pressure. Results showed that Pt/Zr/W/HY is 

the best catalyst for producing isoparffines due to its 

higher acidity compared with Pt/HY. The Pt/Zr/W/HY 

catalyst showed lower activity for aromatization of 

naphtha to cyclopareffins and benzene selectivity than 

Pt/HY.  

   A smaller pore volume leads to lower aromatization 

activity and higher isomerization and cracking activity. 

The maximum isoparaffins extent was achieved and 

reached 78% at 300 °C and LHSV of 0.75 hr
-1

 on 

Pt/Zr/HY and aromatics extent was reached 10% at 370 

°C and LHSV of 0.75 hr
-1

 on Pt/ HY. 

   Al-Saraj M A A. et al. [8] studied light naphtha 

isomerization over 0.3wt. % Pt / HMOR was the catalyst. 

The operating condition was performed for all 

temperature experiments from 200 to 350 ° C, pressure - 

range from 3 to 15 bar, LHSV - range from 0.5-2.5hr
-1

, 

and from hydrogen to naphtha - a ratio of 300. The results 

show that the isomerization of the Iraqi light naphtha 

increases with increasing reaction temperature and 

decreases with an increase in LHSV. High research 

octane number (93)was formed at 240 ° C.

2.2. Synthesis of Na-mordenite (Na-MOR) 

 

   Na-MOR was synthesized from nano-silica. 38. 90 g of 

NaOH was dissolved in 249.3 ml of water and then 

divided into two equal portions. In one portion, 5.56 g of 

nano-silica was completely dissolved. To the other 

portion, 10.19 g of NaAlO2 was added to prepare a clear 

aluminate solution. Then the silicate solution was slowly 

poured into the aluminate solution with vigorous stirring, 

and a homogenous gel resulted.  

   The resultant gel was stored in a water bath at room 

temperature (T =25 ± 2°C), in a sealed poly tetra fluoro 

ethylene (PTFE) bottle under stirrer at 250 rpm for 3 days 

at pH 14. The solid product was separated by filtration 

(Whatman No. 41 filter paper) using a Buckner funnel 

with the aid of a vacuum pump, then washed more times 

by distilled water until the pH value dropped to 8.69. The 

product was left at room temperature overnight, dried at 

110°C for 2 hr and calcined at 400 
0
C for 2 hr. [9]. 

 

2.3. Synthesis of H-mordenite (H-MOR) 

 

   The hydrogen form of zeolite H-MOR was obtained 

from Na-MOR exchange with a solution of 4 N NH4Cl. 

Zeolite Na-MOR was slurred in an ammonium chloride 

solutions with mixing at 70
o
C for 2 hr and then left at 

room temperature overnight for ion exchange completion.  

   After that the exchanged zeolite was filtered off, washed 

with distilled water. The product was left at room 

temperature overnight, dried at 110 
0
C for 2 hr and 

calcined at 400 
0
C for 2 hr. [10] 

 

2.4. Preparation of Ni-Pt/H-MOR by impregnation 

method 

 

   100g of H-MOR-zeolite as a powder was mixed with 10 

wt. % bentonite clay as binder. The resulting mixture was 

mixed with water to form a paste.  Extrudates with 3-7 

mm were formulated and dried over night at 110
º
C and 

then calcined at 400 
0
C for 2 hr. 

   To prepare 0.15wt % of Pt on 50 g of H-MOR pellets 

the carrier catalyst H-MOR was dried at 110
º
C with air 

for two hours and placed in impregnation under vacuum, 

then the solution of chloroplatinic acid (0.205 g H2PtCl6 

and 30 ml deionized water) was added drop by drop under 

magnetic stirring then the vacuum cut off and the sample 

left under mixing for about 2 hr to have a homogenous 

distribution of metal precursors. The product was slurry 

filter washed with distilled water, dried at 110
o
C 

overnight  and calcined at 400
o
C for two hours at a rate of 

2ºC /min [11]. After calcination the catalyst was reduced 

by hydrogen at 350
º
C for 3 hours. For preoare Ni-Pt/H-

MOR catalyst containing 0.215 wt. % of Ni, 50 g of Pt/H-

MOR was impregnated with 0.2 M Ni (NO3)2.2H2O 

aqueous solution at 40 
0
C for 2 hours. The obtained 

filtrated, dried and calcined at 400 
0
C for 2 hours. 

 

2.5. Catalytic Activity Test 

 

   The catalytic activity test was achieved in a continuous 

flow at fixed-bed reactor. Figure 1 shows the process flow 

diagram of unit. 30 g Ni-Pt/H-MOR was charged to the 

reactor between two layers of inert ceramic particles. The 

platinum containing catalyst was reduced with H2 at 

350°C for 3 hr. 

   The catalytic reaction was carried out with LHSV of 1 

hr
-1

, at temperature range of  220-300°C, hydrogen to feed 

mole ratio of 3.7 and at atmospheric pressure. 

The reactor was flushed with nitrogen to purge the air 

from the system.

   Meanwhile, the reactor is heated to the desired 

temperature. After reaching the reaction temperature, the 

nitrogen valve was closed. 

   A pre-specified flow rate of light naphtha was set on. 

Vaporization of the feed occurs in the evaporator.  

   The vapor of light naphtha was mixed with specified 

flow rate of hydrogen in the mixing section. The mixture 

entered the reactor from the top, and reacted on the 

surface of catalyst. The final condensed product was 

collected only after steady state operation was established 

while initial products were discarded.

3- Results and Discussion 
 

3.1 Characterization of Na-MOR and H-MOR. 

a. XRD Analysis 

   Fig. 2 shows that the X-ray diffraction patterns of 

synthesized Na-MOR. These crystal was similar to that 

obtained by R. Szostak [12] and M. Mohamed et al, [13]. 

This means that the synthesized sample is Na-MOR 

crystals. 

 

 
Fig. 2. X-ray powder pattern of prepared Na-MOR zeolite 

 

 

   The exchange technique was used in this work is one 

step impregnation under a constant temperature to convert 

Na-MOR zeolite to H-MOR zeolite. Fig. 3, illustrates the 

XRD patterns of the synthesized zeolite H-MOR. XRD 

phase is found to match with the show peaks at 2θ = 6.57, 

9.77, 19.65, 22.36, 25.72 and 26.36. These peaks are 

characteristic for H-MOR zeolite. It can be seen from 

Figure 4, that the synthesized sample showed the 

formation of H-MOR phase [13]. The relative crystnality 

of H-MOR was calculated by equation 1 and it was 118 

%. 

 

Relative crystnality of zeolite=  Sx/Sy *100                                         (1)
  
 

Where: 

Sx = sum of integral peak intensities for the prepared 

catalyst.  

Sy = sum of integral peak intensities for the standard 

catalyst.

b. Surface Area and Pore Distribution Analysis  

   H-MOR was characterized using N2 sorption to 

determine their surface area and pore volume. Surface 

area and pore volume depend mainly on the structure of 

the solid. It was found that the BET surface area and pore 

size of H-MOR were 336.7 m
2
/g and 2.49 nm, 

respectively. The surface area obtained in this work was 

higher than those obtained by Hisham M. et al, (52.14 

m
2
/g) [14] and Heman et al, (254.38 m

2
/g) [15]. 

 

3.2. Isomerization Conversion 

 

   Isomerization conversion was determined by equation 2, 

while percentage decreasing of naphthenic and aromatic 

calculation by equation 3.

   Fig. 4 shows the effect of temperature on the 

isomerization reaction. 

   The isomerization conversion, as shown in this figure, 

increases with temperature increasing up to 270 
0
C. This 

is due to n-paraffin isomerization. This agrees with an 

investigation reported by Mohammed et al, [8] and Maha 

H. [7] obtained for hydroisomerization light naphtha 

using Pt-Ni/H-mordenite.  

   Furthermore, the lower reaction temperature increases 

the percentage of branch alkane at thermodynamic 

equilibrium as mentioned by Fahim M A et al. [16].

   Fig. 5 and Fig. 6 show the relationship between 

percentage change of naphthene and aromatic with

   The increasing of temperature firstly, promote aromatic 

hydrogenation to cyclo-paraffin and cyclo-paraffin 

hydroisomerization to iso-paraffin and secondly, higher 

temperature change the thermodynamic equilibrium 

forward decreasing hydroisomerization as mentioned by

4- Conclusions 
 

   The prepared catalyst Ni-Pt/H-mordenite exhibits a high 

hydroisomerization activity within the studied range of 

operating conditions. The hydroisomerization reaction is 

temperature dependent, and the lower temperature the 

greater hydrosiomerization selectivity and in turn high 

RON value. The isomerizate at 270 
0
C and LHSV = 1 hr

-1
 

has RON = 92 and can be used as component for lead free 

gasoline production.
