Catalyst<br />
The main characteristics of a catalyst other than its physical <strong>and</strong><br />
mechanical properties are :<br />
• The activity<br />
o catalyst ability to increase the rate of desired reactions<br />
o Is measured in terms of temperature<br />
• The selectivity<br />
o Catalyst ability to favor desirable reactions<br />
o Practically measured by the C5+ Reformate <strong>and</strong> Hydrogen<br />
yields<br />
• The stability<br />
o Change of catalyst performance ( activity, selectivity )with<br />
time<br />
o Caused chiefly by coke deposit <strong>and</strong> by traces of metals in feed<br />
o Measured by the amount of feed treated per unit weight of<br />
catalyst. C5+ wt reformate yield is also an indirect measure of<br />
the stability.<br />
