Abstract
A method of catalyst manufacture wherein a common non-aqueous solution of a soluble platinum group metal compound and a halo-substituted germane is utilized to impregnate a porous high surface area carrier material, the impregnated carrier material being subsequently dried and calcined. The method of manufacture results in an improved hydrocarbon conversion catalyst, particularly with respect to catalytic reforming.
Claims9
A method of catalyst manufacture which comprises impregnating a porous high surface area carrier material with a non-aqueous solution of soluble platinum group metal compound and a halo-substituted germane containing less than four halo substituents in amount to provide a final catalyst containing from about 0.05 to about 1.0 wt.% platinum group metal and from about 0.05 to about 1.0 wt. % germanium, said platinum group metal compound being selected from the group consisting of chloroplatinic acid, platinum chloride, ammonium chloroplatinate, dinitrodiaminoplatinum, palladium chloride, chloropalladic acid, rhodium chloride, ruthenium chloride, ruthenium oxide, osmium chloride and iridium chloride, and drying and calcining the thus impregnated carrier material.
