Effect of the nature of a structure-forming additive on the physicochemical properties of zeolites and the activity of Zn-containing catalysts based on them in ethane aromatization

Catalytic aromatization of ethane on zinc-modified zeolites of various framework types

“…Research in the field of designing next gen eration zeolite systems having a high activity in the cracking, dehydrogenation, isomerization, and arom atization reactions opens a sound possibility of involv ing in catalytic processing of light hydrocarbons to produce valuable chemicals. Aromatization of gaseous hydrocarbons occurs in the presence of various cata lytic systems, of which high silica zeolites of the pen tasil family are considered the most effective [1][2][3][4][5]. These are ZSM 5, ZSM 8, and ZSM 11 zeolites and their domestic analogs, such as zeolites of the TsVK, TsVM, TsVN, and other brands [6,7].…”
