Question

Describe the process of catalytic reforming in the petroleum refining industry

Your answer must also include:

·    A balanced chemical equation, physical states included and reaction conditions stated

·    Examples of a product formed from catalytic reforming (in petroleum refining) and its use

Answer 1

,. Balanced chemical equations sometimes include state symbols in brackets after each formula. They show the physical state of that substance. An aqueous solution forms when a substance dissolves in water. State symbols are useful because they show what a substance is

Catalytic reforming is one of the basic petroleum refining processes for upgrading light hydrocarbon feedstocks [24]. Products from catalytic reforming include high-octane gasoline useful as automobile fuel, aromatics, and hydrogen
