MANUFACTURE OF AROMATIC COMPOUND FROM HYDROCARBON SUPPLY RAWMATERIAL

摘要

This invention relates to the aromatization of methane rich hydrocarbon feedstock by contact with a gallium loaded zeolite containing a Group VIIB metal or metal compound as catalyst. The preferred metal is rhenium. The reaction proceeds at a temperature between 600 DEG -800 DEG C. in the absence of oxygen. The reaction products are useful as gasoline blending components.
