Platforming Platinum re-forming
Platforming Platinum re-forming : A process for converting aliphatic hydrocarbons (acyclic and cyclic) into aromatic hydrocarbons and hydrogen. Methyl cyclopentane can thus be converted to benzene. The catalyst typically incorporates platinum and another metal on an alumina support. Originally the reactors were side by side and the catalyst had to be regenerated annually. In 1970, continuous catalyst regeneration (CCR) was introduced and the three or four reactors were stacked vertically in series (hence another derivation of the name)
