摘要:
Hydrocarbons are converted by contacting them at hydrocarbon conversion conditions with an acidic multimetallic catalytic composite comprising a combination of catalytically effective amounts of a platinum or palladium component, a rhodium component, a rhenium component, and a halogen component with a porous carrier material. The platinum or palladium component, rhodium component, rhenium component, and halogen component are present in the multimetallic catalyst in amounts respectively, calculated on an elemental basis, corresponding to about 0.01 to about 2 wt. % platinum or palladium metal, about 0.01 to about 2 wt. % rhodium, about 0.01 to about 2 wt. % rhenium, and about 0.1 to about 3.5 wt. % halogen. Moreover, these metallic components are uniformly dispersed throughout the porous carrier material in carefully controlled oxidation states such that substantially all of the platinum or palladium component is present therein in the elemental metallic state and substantially all of the rhenium and rhodium components are present therein in the elemental metallic state or in a state which is reducible to the elemental metallic state under hydrocarbon conversion conditions or in a mixture of these states. A specific example of the type of hydrocarbon conversion process disclosed is a process for the catalytic reforming of a low-octane gasoline fraction wherein the gasoline fraction and a hydrogen stream are contacted with the acidic multimetallic catalyst disclosed herein at reforming conditions.

Hydrocarbons are converted by contacting them at hydrocarbon conversion conditions with an acidic sulfur-free multimetallic catalytic composite comprising a combination of catalytically effective amounts of a platinum group component, a rhenium component, a cobalt component, and a halogen component with a porous carrier material. The platinum group component, rhenium component, cobalt component, and halogen component are present in the multimetallic catalyst in amounts respectively, calculated on an elemental basis, corresponding to about 0.01 to about 2 wt. % platinum group metal, about 0.01 to about 2 wt. % rhenium, about 0.1 to about 5 wt. % cobalt, and about 0.1 to about 3.5 wt. % halogen. Moreover, these metallic components are uniformly dispersed throughout the porous carrier material in carefully controlled oxidation states such that substantially all of the platinum group component is present therein in the elemental metallic state, and substantially all of the cobalt and rhenium components are present in the elemental metallic state or in a state which is reducible to the elemental metallic state under hydrocarbon conversion conditions. A specific example of the type of hydrocarbon conversion process disclosed is a process for the catalytic reforming of a low-octane gasoline fraction wherein the gasoline fraction and a hydrogen stream are contacted with the acidic sulfur-free multimetallic catalyst disclosed herein at reforming conditions.
