Optimised catalyst for catalytic reforming

摘要

Reforming catalyst (I) comprising at least platinum, at least one promoter metal comprising rhenium and iridium, at least one halogen comprising fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine, at least one alumina support having low-sulfur and phosphorus content, is new. Independent claims are included for: (1) a catalytic reforming process comprising contacting the catalyst with a hydrocarbon feed comprising n-paraffinic, naphthenic and aromatic hydrocarbons; and (2) use of an alumina support of low-sulfur and phosphorus content for the fabrication of a reforming catalyst.
