FIELD: chemistry.
SUBSTANCE: invention pertains to a catalyst and a method for selective increase in quality of paraffin raw material, with the aim of obtaining concentrated isoparaffin product as a benzine component. Description is given of the catalyst, which consists of a carrier from a sulphated oxide or hydroxide of group IVB (IUPAC 4) metals. The first component is, at least, from one lanthanide element or an yttric component, which is mainly ytterbium, and at least, one metal of the platinum group, which is mainly platinum, and a fireproof oxide binding substance, on which is dispersed at least, one metal of the platinum group. Description is given of the method of making the above mentioned catalyst, including a sulphated oxide or hydroxide of a group 1VB metal, depositing of the first component, mixing the sulphated carrier with the fireproof inorganic oxide of the oxide carrier, burning, depositing of the second component and subsequent burning. Description is given of the method of converting hydrocarbons through contacting with raw materials with the catalyst described above.
EFFECT: selective increase in quality of paraffin raw materials.
