SHAPE-SELECTIVE REFORMING ON ZEOLITE-CONT AINING REFORMING CATALYSTS

Use of bifunctional Pt/Al2O3 catalysts in catalytic reforming units si gnificantly improved production. During the past four decades the powe r of such catalyst systems has been continuously increased by the intr oduction of various catalyst modifications. Use of reforming catalysts containing zeolites permits combination of shape selectivity with the conventional reforming reaction. Here, the suitability of an erionite containing catalyst for the reforming processes is demonstrated. Gaso lines produced with zeolite catalysts are characterised by high values of octane numbers and low content of carinogenic benzene.
