Unmuth, E E; Gutberlet, L C

A process is described for the reforming of a hydrocarbon stream, which comprises contacting the hydrocarbon stream in a first reforming zone in the presence of hydrogen and under reforming conditions with a first catalyst to provide a partially-reformed effluent and contacting the partially-reformed effluent in a second reforming zone under reforming conditions and in the presence of hydrogen with a second catalyst to provide a reformed effluent having a high octane number. The first catalyst consists of at least one noble metal of Group VIII of the Periodic Table of Elements and a combined halogen on a porous, refractory inorganic oxide support. The second catalyst consists of a physical particle-form mixture of a Component A and a Component B. The Component A consists of at least one noble metal of Group VIII deposed on a solid catalyst support material providing acidic catalytic sites. The Component B consists of essentially of a crystalline borosilicate molecular sieve, the catalyst having been prepared by thoroughly and intimately blending finely-divided particles of the Components A and B to provide a thoroughly-blended composite, and the Component B being present in an amount within the range of about 0.1 wt% to about 25 wt%, based upon the weight of the second catalyst.
