Abstract
According to the subject matter of the present disclosure, a method of producing an aromatization catalyst may comprise producing a plurality of uncalcined ZSM-5 nanoparticles via a dry-gel method, directly mixing the plurality of uncalcined ZSM-5 nanoparticles with large pore alumina and a binder to form a ZSM-5/alumina mixture, and calcining the ZSM-5/alumina mixture to form the aromatization catalyst. The plurality of uncalcined ZSM-5 nanoparticles may have an average diameter of less than 80 nm.
