A process for producing a high RON naphtha which comprises contacting a hydrocarbon
feed stream comprising a mixture of the isomers of C5 and C6 paraffins
with a CFI zeolite, such as CIT-5, in an adsorption zone, whereby the branched
isomers of the C5 and C6 paraffins are preferentially adsorbed
by the CFI zeolite as compared to the straight chain isomers, and recovering a
naphtha product from the adsorption zone having a higher RON than the hydrocarbon
feed stream, also including a hydroisomerization process and a hydrocracking process.
