Conversion of Ethane into Aromatic Hydrocarbons on Zinc Containing ZSM-5 Zeolites - Role of Active Centers

摘要

Zinc ions located at cationic positions of ZSM-5 are effective centers for the activa-tion of ethane and catalyze further reactions to aromatic compounds. However, the rate of aromatization of ethene is enhanced in the presence of Bransted acid sites.
