Filed:

Dec 17, 2004

Appl. No.:

11/015156

Inventors:

Mark P. Lapinski - Aurora IL, US
Leon Yuan - Lake Forest IL, US
Mark D. Moser - Elk Grove Village IL, US

Assignee:

UOP LLC - Des Plaines IL

International Classification:

C10G 35/04

US Classification:

208 63

Abstract:

The chloride retention of an alumina catalyst over the course of operation and regeneration can be controlled and stabilized by incorporating a small amount of a component selected from the group including phosphorus, boron, titanium, silicon, and zirconium. Steam treatments have been used to simulate commercial hydrothermal stability and a small amount of the stabilizer component has been discovered which balances chloride retention. Moreover, in a multi-catalyst hydrocarbon conversion process, such as the two-step reforming of naphtha, it has been discovered that proper selection of a catalyst having lower chloride retention in combination with another catalyst having higher chloride retention results in a process with increased yield and/or higher octane gasoline.

International Classification:

C10G 35/09
C07C 5/333

US Classification:

208138000, 585660000, 502325000

Abstract:

A catalyst and a process for using the catalyst are disclosed generally for the conversion of hydrocarbons. The catalyst has an increased average bulk density and a decreased mass ratio of platinum-group metal. The process using the catalyst obtains unexpected high activity and stability for the reforming of naphtha range hydrocarbons. Mössbauer spectroscopy is used to characterize the extent of tin association with platinum and determine an effective molar tin ratio appropriate for alumina supports with densities above 0.6 g/cc.
