ABSTRACT:
An iridium-containing catalyst, particularly one comprising platinum, iridium, and nickel composited with a porous inorganic oxide base, is found useful in hydrocarbon conversion reactions, particularly reforming (hydroforming). Nickel is used in concentrations ranging from about 0.001 to about 0.005 percent based on the total weight of the catalyst. A naphtha or straight run gasoline can be contacted with such catalyst at reforming conditions in the presence of hydrogen to improve the octane quality of the naphtha or gasoline.
