Résumé:
Our work focuses on the study of the performance of the catalytic reforming process of
naphtha in the presence of highly stable, selective and reactive monometallic or bimetallic
catalysts whose objective is to valorize the naphtha resulting from the atmospheric
distillation of crude oil, while increasing its octane number. Catalytic reforming is a crucial
technique in the petroleum industry to improve the properties of gasoline, in particular the
octane rating. Reforming is done by the reactions of dehydrogenation of naphthenes and
dehydro-cyclization of paraffins in order to obtain aromatics with a high octane number.
This process succeeded in raising the low octane rating of naphtha from 101.6 to naphtha
with a minimum octane rating of 102
