Reforming catalyst comprising low valence Ti, V or Cr composited with non-oxidizing high surface area support

摘要

This invention relates to a novel catalyst for reforming gasoline comprising a low valence titanium, vanadium and/or chromium metallic component composited with a non-oxidizing high surface area support. The low valence metallic component is present in divalent form or as a combination of the metallic state and the divalent form - preferably as a chloride and/or bromide. The preferred support is a high surface area coke.
