Abstract

The influence of germanium on the behavior of a Pt/Al2O3 catalyst was studied in normal heptane reforming in order to compare activity, selectivity and life of Pt/Al2O3; Ge/Al2O3 and Pt−Ge/Al2O3 catalysts. It is suggested that the presence of germanium results in lower carbon content on the catalyst and less pronounced catalyst deactivation with an increase in aromatics selectivity.
