Abstract

The effect of 0.3 wt.% indium, which was introduced at the steps of alumina peptization or impregnation, on the properties of platinumalumina reforming catalysts was studied. Doping with indium at the impregnation step produced a smaller decrease in the total acidity of the support and hence in the heptane conversion for the corresponding Pt/In/Al2O3-Cl catalyst. The most pronounced decrease in selectivity of hydrogenolysis and hydrocracking and the maximum i-C5-7 : toluene selectivity ratio were observed for this sample as compared to the undoped catalysts with indium introduction at the peptization step.
