Conversion of Associated Petroleum Gas (APG) to Aromatic Hydrocarbons

Abstract

The studies demonstrated the possibility of effective catalytic synthesis of aromatic hydrocarbons over a zinc oxide modified zeolite catalyst during several reaction-regeneration cycles. The service cycle was shown to be no less than 130–150 hours – a good parameter for the high temperature process. Dependencies of the conversion of fatty C3–C4 constituents of APG on the reaction temperature and time were determined.
