CATALYST FOR AROMATIZING LOWER HYDROCARBON AND METHOD FOR PREPARATION THEREOF, AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING AROMATIC COMPOUND AND HYDROGEN

摘要

A method for preparing a catalyst for the aromatization of a lower hydrocarbon, which comprises subjecting a metallosilicate having molybdenum carried thereon mixed with a reducing gas to a carbonization treatment, wherein the reducing gas is preferably a gas containing a lower hydrocarbon and hydrogen, a hydrogen gas or an ammonia gas, and wherein the metallosilicate having molybdenum carried thereon to be subjected to a carbonization treatment preferably further has at least one other metal component than molybdenum carried thereon, the other metal components including iron group elements such as iron, cobalt and nickel. A catalyst prepared by the method allows the stabilization and the enhancement of the rate of formation of hydrogen and an aromatic compound.
