Abstract

It is shown that pure alpha-quartz used as co-catalyst can enhance the aromatization activity of ZSM-5 zeolite.

Higher conversion of n-butane and higher production of aromatics and molecular hydrogen are obtained when higher amounts of quartz are embedded within the hybrid catalyst and when the particle size of quartz is smaller.
