New tri-metal reformer catalyst offers improved yields,stability

摘要

Axens' platinum (Pt)-rhenium(Re) catalyst,RG 628,is designed for semi-regenerative reformer applications,but can also be applied to cyclic reforming service.The addition of rhenium to a platinum/alumina catalyst dramatically improves the stability (cycle length) of the catalyst,while decreasing the rate of coke formation and its toxic effect on catalyst activity.
