The present disclosure provides systems and methods for producing aromatic compounds in high yield from a mixed aromatic feed stream. Also disclosed are systems and methods for producing aromatic compounds in high yield from oxygenated hydrocarbons such as carbohydrates, sugars, sugar alcohols, sugar degradation products, and the like.

Systems and methods for producing high purity aromatics from a mixed aromatic feed stream

Processes, catalysts, and reactor systems for reforming heavy aromatic compounds (C) into Caromatic compounds are disclosed. Also disclosed are processes, catalysts, and reactor systems for producing aromatic compounds and liquid fuels from oxygenated hydrocarbons, such as carbohydrates, sugars, sugar alcohols, sugar degradation products, and the like.

Systems and methods for reforming a heavy aromatic stream

The present invention provides methods, reactor systems, and catalysts for increasing the yield of aromatic hydrocarbons produced while converting alkanols to hydrocarbons. The invention includes methods of using catalysts to increase the yield of benzene, toluene, and mixed xylenes in the hydrocarbon product.
