The aromatization of ethane and ethylene to benzene and other aromatics is studied. Various metal-zeolite catalysts are investigated. The introduction of platinum, as a dehydrogenating component, increases the yield of aromatic hydrocarbons from ethane to 20%. Also, it is concluded that the aromatization of ethane in the presence of a bifunctional metal-zeolite catalyst is substantially influenced by preliminary high-temperature treatment of the catalyst.
