Abstract
Aliphatic C.sub.2 to C.sub.12 hydrocarbon(s) are converted to olefin(s) and/or aromatic(s) in the presence of an essentially non-acidic Group VIII metal species-containing zeolite MCM-22 catalyst.
Claims23
A process for producing an olefin and/or aromatic compound which comprises contacting under conversion conditions a feedstock containing a substantial amount of at least one C.sub.2 -C.sub.12 aliphatic hydrocarbon with a conversion catalyst comprising a Group VIII metal species-containing, essentially non-acidic synthetic porous crystalline material characterized by an X-ray diffraction pattern including values substantially as set forth in Table I of the specification.
