Abstract

A reforming process is disclosed which comprises contacting a sulfur-containing hydrocarbon material in at least one scavenging or sulfur removal zone with at least one manganese-containing composition at conditions to remove at least a portion of said sulfur from said hydrocarbon material to produce a hydrocarbon feedstock having a reduced concentration of sulfur; and contacting said hydrocarbon feedstock with a catalyst comprising, optionally, a major amount of a porous solid support, a minor catalytically effective amount of at least one platinum-group metal component, optionally, a minor catalytically effective amount of at least one halogen component, and optionally, at least one rhenium component in the presence of hydrogen at hydrocarbon reforming conditions to obtain a hydrocarbon reformate product.
