CATALYST COMPOSITION COMPRISING CRYSTALLINE ALUMINOSILICATE HAVING AL:SI OF LESS THAN 1:5 AND CONTAINING COPPER AND GALLIUM; PREPARATION OF AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS

摘要

A novel catalyst composition comprising a crystalline aluminosilicate having a molar ratio of silica to alumina of at least 5:1, the aluminosilicate carrying gallium and copper, is useful in the conversion at elevated temperature of a C2 - C12 hydrocarbon feedstock into aromatic hydrocarbons.
