In petroleum refining, the process used for conversion of hydrocarbons to aromatics is________________?
Correct answer: D. Catalytic reforming
- A. Catalytic cracking
- B. Alkylation
- C. Hydrotreating
- D. Catalytic reforming
Explanation
Catalytic reforming rearranges and dehydrogenates low-octane hydrocarbons to form aromatic compounds and isoparaffins, increasing gasoline octane number. Catalytic cracking instead primarily breaks large molecules into smaller ones.
