Abstract
Abstract There is provided, in accordance with the present invention, a catalyst composition made up of a mixture of two components, one component comprising a minor proportion of platinum and rhenium on a support and the second component comprising a minor proportion of iridium on a separate support. A process for reforming a charge stock, such as naphtha, utilizing such catalyst is also provided.
