Abstract
Hydrocarbon materials are converted to useful products by contacting the same at elevated temperatures with a catalyst comprising a refractory support in association with greater than 0.1 wt. % iridium, and 0.1 - 1.0 wt. % of at least one additional metal. The iridium and additional catalyst metal, preferably platinum, are present on the surface of the support preferably as highly dispersed polymetallic clusters with metal surface areas of at least 200 square meters per gram of metal. The catalyst is particularly effective for promoting naphtha reforming operations.
