Abstract
A steam reforming catalyst including Ni.Cr/MgO.La.sub.2 O.sub.3.Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 is disclosed. Also disclosed is a method of preparing the catalyst. The catalyst is particularly useful for the catalytic reforming of paraffinic or polycyclic hydrocarbons by steam injection or similar methods. The catalyst has an improved useful life span, improved thermal and mechanical stability, a reduction of carbon deposits (coke) on the catalyst surface during its use, and may be readily regenerated once it is spent.
