REFORMING CATALYST

摘要

In one embodiment, a reforming catalyst can include indium, tin, and a catalytically effective amount of a group VIII element for one or more reforming reactions. Typically, at least 25%, by mole, of the indium is an In(3+) species based on the total moles of indium after exposure for 30 minutes in an atmosphere including 100% hydrogen, by mole, at a temperature of 565°C. Usually, no more than 25%, by mole, of the tin is a Sn(4+) species based on the total moles of tin after exposure for 30 minutes in an atmosphere including 100% hydrogen, by mole, at a temperature of 565°C.
