Abstract

A method of manufacturing a high surface area, spheroidal reforming catalyst comprising a tin-promoted, alumina-supported platinum group metal. A soluble tin compound and a finely divided eta-alumina are combined with an acidic alumina hydrosol, and the mixture thereafter converted to spheroidal particles by the oil-drop method. The spheroidal particles are subsequently impregnated with a platinum group metal component.
