Abstract
Abstract A metallic reforming catalyst, consisting of platinum and iridium or platinum, iridium and copper 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: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
61 words
A reforming catalyst comprising a solid porous alumina support containing platinum and iridium or platinum, iridium and copper, said catalyst being prepared by the process of applying to 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
61 words
A reforming catalyst comprising a solid porous alumina support containing platinum and iridium or platinum, iridium and copper, said catalyst being prepared by the process of applying to 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
12 words
The catalyst of claim 1 wherein the solid porous support is eta-alumina.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
14 words
The catalyst of claim 1 wherein the solid porous support is alpha monohydrate alumina.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
17 words
The catalyst of claim 1 wherein the porous support is a mixture of alumina and an aluminosilicate.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
12 words
The catalyst of claim 1 wherein the metals are platinum and iridium.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
13 words
The catalyst of claim 1 wherein the metals are platinum, iridium and copper.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
49 words
The catalyst of claim 1 wherein 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 9
Dependent Claim
24 words
The catalyst of claim 7 wherein the recovered solids are washed first in dimethylsulfoxide and then in water prior to said drying and calcining.
Claim 10
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 11
Dependent Claim
16 words
The process of claim 9 wherein the soluble metal salts are chloroplatinic acid and iridium chloride.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
18 words
The process of claim 9 wherein the soluble metal salts are chloroplatinic, acid, iridium chloride and copper chloride.
