Evaluation of naphtha reforming catalysts by accelerated deactivation tests

Abstract

Accelerated deactivation tests of four commercial Pt-Re/A1203 catalysts have been carried out in a pilot plant at RON values of 98-100. From this 350-hour test, specific performance data for objective comparison of catalysts were obtained.

“…Therefore, establishment and adaptation of detailed experimental procedures are extremely important in order to obtain reliable data [4]. Based on the published literature [5][6][7][8], procedures for catalyst pretreatment and testing were established.…”
