Abstract
Similarly to the case of methane, ethane and propane, Mo2C deposited on ZSM-5 significantly enhanced the aromatization of n-butane observed on ZSM-5 (SiO2/Al2O3 ratio of 80) alone. The catalytic performance of Mo2C/ZSM-5 sensitively depended on its preparation and pretreatment. The selectivity of aromatics measured for pure ZSM-5 increased from 11-13% to 28-34% at the conversion level of 60-65%. The formation of aromatics was also observed over Mo2C/SiO2.
