Process for conversion of light aliphatic hydrocarbons to aromatics
Patent
·
OSTI ID:6725267
This patent describes a hydrocarbon conversion process wherein a vapor phase feedstream comprising a C/sub 2/-C/sub 5/ aliphatic hydrocarbon is passed into a catalytic reaction zone containing a solid catalyst and converted into aromatic hydrocarbons comprising benzene, toluene and xylenes which are recovered from a reaction zone effluent stream. The improvement described here comprises charging benzene and /or toluene into the reaction zone to increase the relative production of xylenes.
