Claims
- 1. A process for converting a hydrocarbon which comprises contacting said hydrocarbon with a catalytic composite comprising a combination of a catalytically effective amount of a pyrolyzed rhenium carbonyl component with a porous carrier material containing a uniform dispersion of catalytically effective amounts of a platinum group component, which is maintained in the elemental metallic state, and of a zinc component.
- 2. A process for converting a hydrocarbon as defined in claim 1 wherein the contacting of the hydrocarbon with the catalytic composite is performed in the presence of hydrogen.
- 3. A process for reforming a gasoline fraction which comprises contacting the gasoline fraction and hydrogen with the catalytic composite defined in claim 1 at reforming conditions.
- 4. A process as defined in claim 3 wherein the reforming conditions include a temperature of about 700 to about 1100.degree. F., a pressure of about 0 to about 1000 psig., a liquid hourly space velocity of about 0.1 to about 10 hrs..sup.-1 and a mole ratio of hydrogen to hydrocarbon of about 1:1 to about 20:1.
- 5. A process as defined in claim 4 wherein the reforming conditions utilized include a pressure of about 50 to about 350 psig.
