Abstract
Abstract A metallic reforming catalyst, preferably consisting of platinum and iridium or compounds thereof, with or without a third metal component of either Groups IB, IIB, IIIA, IVA, VB, VIB or VIIB on a porous carrier provides excellent conversion of naphtha to C5<+> product. A method of incorporating the metals or metal compounds on the carrier and preparing the finished catalyst using dimethyl sulfoxide is a novel procedure and provides unexpected catalytic properties. Novel reforming operations using these catalysts under moderate or severe conditions do not drastically alter the product yield.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
57 words
A reforming catalyst comprising a solid porous support containing platinum, iridium and gold, said catalyst being prepared by the process of applying to the said support a dimethylsulfoxide solution containing soluble compounds of the metals, selected from the group consisting of metal salt, metal acid, metal ammine and metal ammine halide, drying the resulting solids and calcining.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
57 words
A reforming catalyst comprising a solid porous support containing platinum, iridium and gold, said catalyst being prepared by the process of applying to the said support a dimethylsulfoxide solution containing soluble compounds of the metals, selected from the group consisting of metal salt, metal acid, metal ammine and metal ammine halide, drying the resulting solids and calcining.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
14 words
The catalyst of claim 1 wherein the solid porous support is an inorganic oxide.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
11 words
The catalyst of claim 2 wherein the inorganic oxide is alumina.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
17 words
The catalyst of claim 2 wherein the porous support is a mixture of alumina and an aluminosilicate.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
50 words
The catalyst of claim 1 wherein the said compounds of the metals are joined with the solid porous support by dissolving said compounds of the metals in dimethylsulfoxide, mixing the dimethylsulfoxide solution with the solid porous support, heating the resulting slurry, recovering the solids therefrom, drying the solids and calcining.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
24 words
The catalyst of claim 5 wherein the recovered solids are washed first in dimethylsulfoxide and then in water prior to said drying and calcining.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
45 words
A process for the preparation of the catalyst of claim 1 comprising mixing the solid porous support with a solution of the said soluble metal compounds in dimethylsulfoxide, subjecting the resulting slurry to refluxing, separating the solids from the slurry, drying the solids and calcining.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
18 words
The process of claim 7 wherein the soluble metal salts are chloroplatinic acid, iridium chloride and aurichloric acid.
