Abstract
Abstract Improvements in the aromatization of hydrocarbon streams by contact thereof with a ZSM-5 type of synthetic aluminosilicate zeolite catalyst at elevated temperatures of about 500* to 1500*F, in the absence of added hydrogen, at high severities to convert at least 80 weight percent of the feed to a product, the liquid portion of which comprises aromatics, which improvement is engendered by utilizing a matrix catalyst containing said zeolite in a high silica content binder.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
94 words
IN THE PROCES OF CONVERTING AN ALIPHATIC FEEDSTOCK HAVING AN ATOMOSPHERIC BOILING POINT OF UP TO ABOUT 400*F TO AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS BY CONTACTING SUCH FEEDSTOCK WITH A ZSM-5 TYE: OF ZEOLITE AT AOUT 500* TO 1500*F AND A SPACE VELOCITY OF UP TO ABOUT 15 WHSV; THE IMPROVEMENT, WHEREBY INHIBITING THE FORMATION OF COKE ON SAID CATALYST AND IMPROVING THE STEAM STABILITY OF THE SAID CATALYST, COMPRISING USING AS SAID CATALYST A MATRIX OF ZSM-5 TYPE OF CRYSTALLINE ZEOLITE AND A SECOND, INORGANIC COMPONENT CONSISTING ESSENTIALLY OF AT LEAST ABOUT 80 WEIGHT PERCENT SILICA.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
