METHOD OF PRODUCING GASOLINE FRACTION REFORMING CATALYST Russian patent published in 1994 - IPC

FIELD: petroleum processing. SUBSTANCE: 0.2-250 micron-sized particle aluminium hydroxide powder is plasticized at a 20-120 micron mean equivalent diameter. Plastic compound obtained is extruded on nickel press and then dried in hot air stream. Dried-out extrudates are baked in an air stream containing 13-69.2 vol. % of water vapor. Carrier is impregnated with water solution containing platinum, halogen, and promoter. Catalyst is dried and baked. The catalyst obtained provides 58.2-59.3 mass % average yield of aromatic hydrocarbons in one test run. EFFECT: efficiency of catalyst increased. 1 tbl
