AN IMPROVED ZEOLITE MATERIAL AND THE USE THEREOF IN THE CONVERSION OF NON-AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS TO AROMATICS AND LIGHT OLEFINS

摘要

A hydrocarbon conversion process in which the rate of cokeformation is reduced and aromatics and light olefins yield is increased by theuse of an improved zeolite catalyst that comprises a silylated, zeolite materialpreferably treated with steam. Another embodiment includes the use of animproved zeolite catalyst that comprises silylated, acid treated zeolite material.
