New catalysts that contain heteropolyanions of the 12-tungstophosphoric acid or the 12-tungstomolybdic acid, and, for some of these, at least one metal of group VIII, and that are deposited on substrates that develop a specific surface area and a high pore volume, such as zirconium oxide (ZrO2), silicas, silica-aluminas or aluminas, are used in particular in isomerization of paraffinic fractions that contain in large part n-paraffins that have, for example, 4 to 8 carbon atoms per molecule and in aliphatic alkylation of isoparaffins (for example isobutane and/or isopentane) by at least one olefin that comprises, for example, 2 to 6 carbon atoms per molecule (C2 to C6). |
