Abstract
A catalyst comprised of platinum, copper, selenium and halogen, composited with an inorganic oxide support or carrier, preferably alumina. The catalyst is one which possesses an intrinsically high activity, is stable and can operate at reforming conditions at high severities.
Claims12
A process for reforming a hydrocarbon feed at reforming conditions which comprises contacting said feed with a catalyst which comprises from about about 0.1 to about 2 percent platinum, from about 0.01 to about 0.1 percent copper, from about 0.001 to about 3 percent selenium, and from about 0.1 to about 2.5 percent halogen composited with an inorganic oxide support.
