Hydrocarbon conversion process and catalyst therefor

Abstract

Abstract A CATALYTIC COMPOSITE COMPRISING A PLATINUM GROUP METALLIC COMPONENT AND A TECHNETIUM COMPONENT COMBINED WITH A CARRIER MATERIAL CONTAINING ALUMINA AND A FINELY DIVIDED CRYSTALLINE ALUMINOSILICATE, IS DISCLOSED. A SPECIFIC EXAMPLE OF THE CATALYTIC COMPOSITES DISCLOSED HEREIN IS A COMBINATION OF ABOUT 0.01 T O 1.0 WT. PERCENT PLATINUM AND ABOUT 0.01 TO 1.0 WT. PERCENT TECHNETIUM WITH A GAMMA ALUMINA CARRIER MATERIAL HAVING 0.5 TO 20 WT. PERCENT OF THE HYDROGEN FORM OF MORDENITE UNIFORMLY DISTRIBUTED THERETHROUGH. PRINCIPAL UTILITY OF THESE CATALYTIC COMPOSITES IS, BROADLY, IN THE FIELD OF PROCESSES FOR THE CONVERSION OF HYDROCARBONS AND, MORE PARTICULARLY, IN A PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF LPG AND A HIGH OCTANE REFORMATE.
