Abstract
This disclosure teaches a stabilized rhenium catalyst in which the rhenium does not volatilize away from a catalyst substrate when oxidized to its higher valence state. The rhenium is protected by having sufficient refractory oxide available on the catalyst substrate to trap any higher oxide of rhenium developed when the rhenium is oxidized.
