The influence of the chlorine content on the Pt-Re interaction and the
modification of the catalytic properties of reforming catalysts prepa
red by co-impregnation were studied. Chlorine inhibits Pt-Re interacti
on and produces a decrease in the deposition of coke over the metallic
function. In monometallic Pt catalysts, chlorine produces lower coke
deposits, but its toxicity in cyclohexane dehydrogenation is the same
and the catalytic activity is independent of chlorine content. For bim
etallic catalysts, the greater the Pt-Re interaction, the lower the de
activation by coking of the metallic function.
