Abstract
Catalysts suitable for use in reforming hydrocarbons have a halogen promoter and a plurality of dispersed nanocatalyst particles supported on a solid support. The dispersed nanocatalyst particles are manufactured using a dispersing agent to control the size and/or crystal face exposure of the particles. The controlled size and dispersion of the nanocatalyst particles allows the reforming catalyst to be loaded with significantly less halogen promoter while still maintaining or increasing the catalyst's reforming performance. The catalysts of the present invention have shown improved Cproduction with the significantly reduced levels of halogen promoter.
