A method of making a catalyst comprises: mixing three or more catalytically active components with water to form an impregnating solution; contacting a support with the impregnating solution; impregnating the catalytically active components onto the support to form an impregnated support; and calcining the impregnated support to form a catalyst. Another method of making a catalyst comprises: co-impregnating a support with three or more catalytically active components in an impregnating solution to form an impregnated support; and calcining the impregnated support to form the catalyst.

Method for manufacture of an alkane dehydrogenation catalyst

Methods for preparing bound non-acidic germanium zeolite catalysts are disclosed, where the preparation is reproducible and scalable and where the catalysts have similar or the same activity and selectivities of a standard naphtha aromatization catalyst and methods for aromatizing naphtha.

Catalyst for light naphtha aromatization

A method of making a catalyst comprises: mixing a catalytically active component and a surfactant to form a mixture, wherein the catalytically active component comprises phosphorus; forming a gel; physically shearing the gel to form a physically sheared gel; combining the physically sheared gel with a support; and calcining the support with the physically sheared gel to form the catalyst. Another method of making a catalyst comprises: mixing a catalytically active component and a surfactant to form a mixture, wherein the catalytically active component comprises phosphorus; letting the mixture sit without mixing for greater than 1 hour to form a set mixture; subjecting the set mixture to shear to form a sheared mixture; combining the sheared mixture with a support; and calcining the support with the sheared mixture to form the catalyst.
