Summary: A new application of the Catalytic Reforming Process is presented here for the production of aromatics.In this process, pure aromatics can be produced from "REFORMATE" by simple fractionation without solvent extraction. The process consists of three parts:(I) Prefractionation of naphtha into a narrow fraction which has specified boiling range, or a specified end point.(II) Aromatization of the fraction with a catalyst, like platinum on alumina, which has dehydrogenation-dehydrocyclization activity.(III) Separation of high purity aromatics from the reaction product (reformate) merely by simple fractionation without solvent extraction.
