Abstract
Abstract A gasoline fraction is catalytically reformed by contacting the gasoline fraction and a hydrogen stream at reforming conditions with an activated bimetallic acidic catalytic composite comprising a combination of a platinum group component, a tin component and a halogen component with a porous carrier material, the catalytic composite having been activated by contacting same with an activating gas comprising oxygen and a halogenating component selected from the group consisting of halogen and hydrogen halide at a temperature between 700 DEG and 1100 DEG F. for a time of at least 0.5 to about 10 hours. Also disclosed is a process for activating a catalytic composite containing platinum in the form of platinum, platinum oxide or platinum sulfide, tin in the form of tin oxide or tin sulfide and halide in combination with a porous alumina carrier material, which process comprises contacting the catalytic composite with an activating gas comprising oxygen and a halogenating component selected from the group consisting of halogen and hydrogen halide at a temperature of about 700 DEG to 1100 DEG F. for a time of at least about 0.5 to about 10 hours.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
177 words
An activated catalytic composite comprising a combination of platinum group metal in the elemental state, tin and halogen with a porous carrier material in amounts sufficient to result in a catalyst containing, on an elemental basis, about 0.01 to about 2 wt. % platinum group metal, about 0.01 to about 5 wt. % tin and about 0.1 to about 3.5 wt. % halogen, said tin component being uniformly dispersed throughout the porous carrier material in a particle size less than 100 angstroms in maximum dimension and in a positive oxidation state the catalytic composite having been activated by contacting with an activating gas comprising oxygen and a halogenating component selected from the group consisting of halogen and hydrogen halide at a temperature between 700 to 1100°F. for a time of at least 0.5 to about 10 hours followed by reduction of said activated catalyst with a substantially water-free reduction agent to reduce substantially all of the platinum to the metallic state while maintaining substantially all of the tin component in an oxidation state above the elemental metal.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
177 words
An activated catalytic composite comprising a combination of platinum group metal in the elemental state, tin and halogen with a porous carrier material in amounts sufficient to result in a catalyst containing, on an elemental basis, about 0.01 to about 2 wt. % platinum group metal, about 0.01 to about 5 wt. % tin and about 0.1 to about 3.5 wt. % halogen, said tin component being uniformly dispersed throughout the porous carrier material in a particle size less than 100 angstroms in maximum dimension and in a positive oxidation state the catalytic composite having been activated by contacting with an activating gas comprising oxygen and a halogenating component selected from the group consisting of halogen and hydrogen halide at a temperature between 700 to 1100°F. for a time of at least 0.5 to about 10 hours followed by reduction of said activated catalyst with a substantially water-free reduction agent to reduce substantially all of the platinum to the metallic state while maintaining substantially all of the tin component in an oxidation state above the elemental metal.
