Catalyst and process for conversion of hydrocarbons

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6067230
An improved process is claimed for converting hydrocarbons using a catalyst which is periodically regenerated to remove carbonaceous deposits. The catalyst is comprised of a mixture containing, as a major component, solid particles capable of promoting hydrocarbon conversion at hydrocarbon conversion conditions, and, as a minor component, discrete entities comprising a major amount of a support and a minor, catalytically effective amount of at least one of certain metal components disposed on at least a portion of the support. The metal component is capable of promoting the oxidation of carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide at carbon monoxide oxidizing conditions, provided that the discrete entities are more attrition resistant than the solid particles. An improved hydrocarbon conversion-carbon monoxide oxidation catalyst is also disclosed.
