Alumina supported bimetallic Pt–Re, Pt–Sn and Pt–Ge naphtha reforming catalysts were studied. The Pt concentration was kept constant at 0.3 % (weight basis) while the concentration of the second metal was varied in order to assess its influence. The experimental results showed that the addition of a...
