Question

Catalytic reforming is a process widely used in the petroleum industries. It is applied to some fractions from the crude distillation unit and uses catalytic reactions to process low-octane high-boiling

gasolines and naphthas into high-octane aromatics (including benzene). Q1: Prepare a scientific report, in which you present the below information: a) Definition, use, and Process Flow Diagram of catalytic reforming process in a refinery. b) Chemistry of the catalytic reforming: what are the reactions of interest, reactions mechanisms, and catalysts used? c) Reaction rate equation of one typical reaction in catalytic reforming. d) Discuss the reasons of catalyst deactivation, and how it is regenerated in a continuous reforming process. e) Show the references in APA style.
