Straight run naphtha is converted into high octane number petrol (gasoline) by catalytic____________________?
Correct answer: C. Reforming
- A. Cracking
- B. Polymerisation
- C. Reforming
- D. Isomerisation
Explanation
Catalytic reforming converts straight-run naphtha into higher-octane gasoline by forming aromatics and branched hydrocarbons, with hydrogen as a coproduct. Cracking mainly reduces molecular size rather than primarily improving naphtha octane quality.
