Abstract
Noble metals on supported zeolite-containing hydrocarbon conversion catalysts, which have been at least partially damaged by thermal and/or hydrothermal stresses resulting in a maldistribution of the supported metal, are redispersed to a highly active, high surface area state by contacting said catalyst with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), or a salt thereof, to the point of incipient wetness and then removing said acid by heat treatment.
