Catalytic reforming
Catalytic reforming is when we use a special ingredient called a "catalyst" to change one thing into another thing. Think of it like magic potion that we add to something to make it transform into something better.
For example, we might use catalytic reforming to turn a liquid called naphtha (which comes from crude oil) into something called "reformate," which is used to make gasoline. The catalyst we use is a little like a chef's secret recipe or a magic wand that helps turn the liquid into what we want it to be.
It's kind of like how a cake mix has baking powder and other ingredients that help it rise and become fluffy and delicious. The catalyst is like the baking powder, helping the naphtha transform into reformate so that we can make gasoline.
So, catalytic reforming is a way to make things better using a special ingredient and without having to do anything too complicated (just like adding the right ingredients makes baking a cake easier).
