Aromatization of n-butane over new LD-HBS catalysts. Effect of the gallium oxide support

Catalysis Letters Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

It is shown that even “pure” quartz, other silicas or aluminas can enhance the aromatization activity of a ZSM-5 zeolite. Incorporation of gallium oxide onto these supports increases further the production of aromatics. The use of supported gallium oxide co-catalyst obtained by co-evaporation of a colloidal silica and a Ga salt has led to extremely high aromatization performance for the hybrid catalyst.
