A method for the aromatization of hydrocarbons, comprising: introducing a feed stream to an aromatization catalyst in a fixed bed reactor wherein the feed stream comprises a hydrocarbon having 2 to 4 carbon atoms, converting the hydrocarbon having 2 to 4 carbon atoms to form an outlet stream comprising an aromatic hydrocarbon; wherein the feed stream is introduced at a GHSV of greater than or equal to 4,000 milliliters per gram of catalyst per hour (ml·gCat·h), and a pressure of greater than or equal to 0.4 MPa. The feed stream can comprise hydrogen in an amount of at least 0.1 volume percent (vol %) up to 20 vol % based upon total volume of the feed stream.

Method for aromatization of lower hydrocarbons to produce benzene and other aromatics

A process for activating an aromatization catalyst includes contacting an aromatization catalyst with a carburizing gas in a carburization reactor at a carburization pressure in a range of greater than 300 kPa to 800 kPa, or 500 kPa to 600 kPa, to obtain a calcined aromatization catalyst. The carburizing gas provides a carbon source, preferably the carburizing gas comprises at least one of methane, ethane, propane, butane, or carbon monoxide.

Process for activating an aromatization catalyst

Described herein is a method for producing a zeolite catalyst useful for aromatization of a lower alkane, a zeolite catalyst useful for aromatization of a lower alkane obtainable by said method and a process for aromatization of a lower alkane using the zeolite catalyst.
