Abstract
Abstract The invention concerns the manufacture of a solid acid catalyst comprising: (a) a carrier, (b) a metal of the platinum family and (c) an additional metal selected from tin, germanium and lead. Halogen may be present. The additional metal is added to the catalytic mass dissolved in a hydrocarbon solvent, in the form of an organometallic compound, for example tetrabutyl tin. The invention is particularly applicable to the manufacture of catalysts for hydrocarbon reforming or aromatic hydrocarbons production.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
186 words
A process for manufacturing a hydrocarbon conversion catalyst which comprises the steps of: (a) impregnating a carrier with an acid solution containing at least one halogen or halogen compound and at least one compound of a noble metal of the platinum family, (b) drying the resultant impregnated carrier, (c) calcining the resultant dried impregnated carrier, (d) contacting the resultant calcined impregnated carrier with a solution of at least one organic compound selected from the group consisting of alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, alkylaryl and arylalkyl tin, germanium and lead compounds and halogenated derivatives thereof, in a hydrocarbon solvent selected from the group consisting of paraffinic, naphthenic and aromatic hydrocarbons containing 6 to 12 carbon atoms per molecule, said compound of a noble metal of the platinum family, said halogen or halogen compound, and said at least one organic compound being used in such proportions as to result in a catalyst containing 0.01 to 2% by weight of said noble metal of the platinum family, 0.005 to 0.1% by weight of said additional metal and 0.1 to 15% by weight of halogen and (e) drying the thus prepared catalyst.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
