Rhenium is one of the most effective promoters used for the modification of industrial reforming catalysts and has been found to raise the hydrogenating activity of platinum/aluminium dioxide catalysts considerably in the conversion of benzene to cyclohexane. The purpose of this paper is to study this effect from the kinetic standpoint. Test procedures are described. The contribution of rhenium to the reaction kinetics was measured by the desorption rate of hydrogen from the catalysts.
