Abstract
Utilizes the reforming process designed for gasoline production to investigate the aromatization of paraffinic hydrocarbons under different process conditions and with different feedstock distillation ranges. Evaluates the degree of involvement of the paraffinic hydrocarbons in the aromatization reaction during the reforming process according to the degree of aromatization and the selectivity of their conversion to aromatic hydrocarbons. Finds that under the most favorable reforming conditions (e.g. at a minimal pressure and a high temperature), a degree of paraffin aromatization of 55% (relative) can be achieved, and a selectivity of 62-67%. Concludes that while it is impossible to achieve 75-80% aromatization of the paraffins solely by changing the reforming conditions, this problem can be resolved by the development of highly selective catalysts with a high level of activity in cyclization.
