Conversion of Associated Petroleum Gas into Aromatic Hydrocarbons

Abstract

The possibility of the efficient catalytic synthesis of hydrocarbons on a zeolite-containing catalyst modified with zinc oxide for several reaction–regeneration cycles is studied. An estimate of the interregeneration run time shows that it could be at least 130–150 h, which is quite long for such a high-temperature process. The dependences of the conversion of gases rich in C₃–C₄ within the composition of the associated petroleum gas on the temperature and time of the reaction are established.
