Operating temperature and pressure in catalytic reforming is about_____________?
Correct answer: D. 15-45 Kgf/cm2 & 450-550°C
- A. 1-5 Kgf/cm2 & 200°C
- B. 5-10 kgf/cm2 & 150 - 250°C
- C. 50 - 75 kgf/cm2 & 600 - 800°C
- D. 15-45 Kgf/cm2 & 450-550°C
Explanation
Catalytic reforming uses high temperatures, commonly about 450 to 550°C, and moderate-to-high pressures in the range of roughly 15 to 45 kgf/cm². These conditions promote dehydrogenation, isomerisation and cyclisation reactions that raise gasoline octane number.
