Abstract

Methane (C1) can be activated by interaction with liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) even at very high C1 molar fractions in the feed (C1/(C1 + LPG)=0.85) at temperatures of 450–550°C, GHSV(LPG)=2240 and 810 ml/g h, over Zn‐ZSM‐11 (molar fraction Zn2+/(Zn2+H+=0.86) and total pressure of 1 atm. The isobutane (i‐C4) of LPG could be the main responsible of this interaction. Aromatic hydrocarbons were the main products in the whole range of C1 molar fractions (0.4–0.85) studied, reaching excellent levels of 10–45%.
