Zeolite material and the use thereof in the conversion of non-aromatic hydrocarbons to aromatics and light olefins

摘要

A hydrocarbon conversion process in which the rate of coke formation is reduced and aromatics and light olefins yield is increased by the use of an improved zeolite catalyst that comprises a silylated, zeolite material preferably treated with steam. Another embodiment includes the use of an improved zeolite catalyst that comprises silylated, acid treated zeolite material.
