Monofunctional dehydrocyclization catalyst of paraffins, characterized in that it contains: 0.1 to 1.5% platinum, o.1 to 1.5% rhenium incorporated in the form of carbonyl, a small proportion of sulphur introduced by a sulphur compound reducible or decomposable by hydrogen such that the ratio x of the number of sulphur atoms to the number of platinum and rhenium atoms deposited on the catalyst be comprised between 0.05 and 0.6, the carrier being constituted by a zeolitic crystalline aluminosilicate compensated in more than 90% by alkaline cations having a pore diameter of more than 6.5 Angstroms.

Catalyst for production of aromatic hydrocarbons and process for

A process for the production of aromatic hydrocarbons from petroleum fractions containing paraffins which comprises passing said charge in the presence of hydrogen at 400.degree. C.-550.degree. C. over a catalyst containing from 0.1 to 1.5% by weight of at least one metal selected from the group consisting of platinum, rhenium, iridium, tin and germanium and containing sulfur in a sulfur/metals atomic ratio of from 0 to less than 1, supported on a crystalline, aluminum silicate zeolite containing alkaline cations, said zeolite having a pore dimension larger than 6.5 Angstroms, wherein the catalysts are in fixed beds in two reactors or sets of reactors arranged in parallel and operate at a pressure on the order of from 0.5 to 8 absolute bars wherein when a reactor set (DHC.sub.1 ) is producing aromatic hydrocarbons the other reactor set (DHC.sub.2 ) is swept by the hydrogen produced by the first reactor set (DHC.sub.1) at a temperature adequate for reactivating the catalyst, then inverting the roles of the two sets.

Process for the dehydrocyclization of paraffins at low pressure

The invention is directed to a catalytic process for hydro-treating gas oils in order to improve their flow properties, the feed stock being treated at a temperature of between 400.degree. and 550.degree. C., under a total pressure of between 18 and 60 bars with a hydrogen/hydrocarbon molar ratio of between 2 and 8 in the presence of a catalyst comprising by weight from 0.1 to 1% of platinum and 0.01 to 1% of iridium deposited on an alumina support having a specific surface higher than 50 m.sup.2 /g, a silica content of less than 10% weight and a halogen content of less than 0.1%.

Catalytic process for hydro-treating gas oils in the presence of hydrogen

The invention relates to the catalytic treatment of a gas oil feed stock, distilling between 150.degree. and 530.degree. C., in a reactor zone whose temperature is comprised between 200.degree. and 500.degree. C., the pressure is comprised between 15 and 80 bars and containing a hydrogen form zeolite as catalyst, in the presence of a quantity of isobutane representing from 5 to 100% of said feed stock. The process is particularly suitable for the improvement of the filtration temperature limit of the gas oils.

Catalytic treatment of gas oils

Ethane is produced from alkanes by introducing a mixture of hydrogen and alkanes into a reactor at a spatial velocity V and a total pressure P on a catalyst at the temperature T. The catalyst is constituted by at least one metal selected from iridium and rhodium incorporated in a support of inert refractory oxide in which SO.sub.4.sup.-- sulphate ions are not present.

Method of production of ethane by selective hydrogenolysis of alkane

In a method of catalytic conversion of a butane cut to propane, a butane cut and hydrogen are introduced respectively into a reaction zone containing a catalyst consisting of mordenite in acid form in such a manner as to ensure that the partial pressure of hydrogen is higher than 5 bar.
