AROMATISIERUNG VON ALIPHATISCHEN VERBINDUNGEN UEBER GALLIUMENTHALTENDE ZEOLITE.

摘要

A catalytic process is provided for converting feedstocks containing C7 to C12 aliphatic hydrocarbons to aromatics by contacting said feedstocks, under conversion conditions, with a crystalline zeolite catalyst having a constraint index of about 1 to 12 and a silica-alumina ratio of at least 550, and containing a minor amount of an added metal comprising at least 50 weight percent of gallium, thereby converting the feedstock to aromatics.
