Aromatization of butane over modified mfi-type zeolite catalysts

Relationship between the molybdenum phases and the conversion of n-butane over Mo/HZSM-5

“…Pt, Mo, Cr, Cu, V, Ni, Ga, In, Zn, etc. [18][19][20][21][22][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37]. The preferred catalysts are Zn/HZSM-5 and Ga/HZSM-5, while the active component, Zn or Ga, can be lost during the reaction [37].…”

Aromatization of n-butane and 1-butene over supported Mo2C catalyst

“…The yield of aromatics was found to be very small. Several attempts have been made to enhance the catalytic activity of zeolites and to alter the product distribution by adding different metals and oxides to ZSM-5 [33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41]. As regards the aromatization of n-butane, Zn and Ga proved to be the most active promoters [41][42][43][44][45][46].…”

Direct conversion of syngas to aromatics: A review of recent studies

“…Comparatively, the conversion efficiency can be enhanced and the reaction temperature is much lower when using other kinds of light hydrocarbons as feedstock. However, the selectivity of aromatic hydrocarbons seldom exceeds 60% based on the carbon number when using low-carbon olefins and alkanes over metal-modified zeolite catalysts [24,25]. Another approach is the production of aromatics from methanol, which has been developed into a mature technology very recently [17,26].…”
