Abstract
Paraffinic hydrocarbons of 2 to 16 carbon atoms are converted to aromatic in the presence of oxygen and a zeolite catalyst incorporating oxidative dehydrogenative metal or metal oxide components
Claims19
A process for producing aromatics from a feedstock containing predominantly paraffinic hydrocarbons of 2 to 16 carbon atoms which comprises contacting said feedstock and air or oxygen with a crystalline zeolite catalyst comprising a zeolite having a constraint index within the approximate range of 1 to 12 and a silica to alumina ratio of at least 12 and having incorporated therein a minor amount of metal or metal oxide oxidative dehydrogenation components.
