CATALYTIC COMPOSITE FOR CONVERSION OF HYDROCARBONS

摘要

A novel hydrocarbon conversion composite is disclosed which comprises a combination of a nonacidic zeolite, catallytically effective amounts of a Group VIII metal component, and a silica support matrix derived by a high pH gelation of an alkali metal silicate sol. This novel composition has particular utility as a dehydrocyclization catalyst for the conversion of paraffins to aromatic compounds.
