Tin is an inactive metal as a catalyst, but is a good promoter of Pt in naphtha reforming catalysts, since the selectivity toward desirable reactions (such as dehydrocyclization) and the stability are improved. Pt-Sn/Al{sub 2}O{sub 3} catalysts display some different characteristics from other bimetallic systems. Moreover, taking into account the possibility of both metallic precursors (H{sub 2}PtCl{sub 6} and SnCl{sub 2}) interacting in solution to give Pt-Sn complexes, a great influence of different preparation methods on the final characteristics of the catalysts can be expected. The study of this subject has been mentioned by several authors (4-6). In this paper, a study of the effect of different impregnation techniques and the tin loading on the performance of Pt-Sn/Al{sub 2}O{sub 3} catalysts is carried out.
