Abstract

A novel extruded catalyst and process use thereof is disclosed. The catalyst comprises a refractory inorganic oxide and halogen, platinum-group metal, and Group IVA(14) metal components, wherein the Group IVA(14) metal is homogeneously dispersed within a bed of catalyst particles relative to catalysts of the prior art. Utilization of this catalyst in the reforming of hydrocarbons results in significantly improved selectivity to the desired gasoline product.
