Abstract
A process for the production of aromatic compounds from low-molecular weight predominantly paraffinic feedstock which comprises contacting the feedstock in a first reactor with a dehydrogenation catalyst to produce a first reaction product containing alkenes; contacting said first reaction product in a second reactor with a crystalline aluminosilicate catalyst to produce a second reaction product containing aromatics; and separating an aromatic-rich fraction therefrom. In a preferred embodiment the feedstock consists essentially of propane and/or butane.
