Abstract
A method is disclosed for reforming hydrocarbons, particularly C.sub.6 -C.sub.10 hydrocarbons, to aromatics, by passing the hydrocarbons over a dehydrocyclization catalyst at dehydrocyclization conditions. The catalyst comprises a non-acidic large pore zeolite having a Group VIII metal and an alkaline earth metal, said alkaline earth metal having been impregnated onto the zeolite by contacting the zeolite with an alkaline earth metal solution of a concentration sufficient to result in the zeolite having an alkaline earth metal content of less than about 2% by weight of the zeolite.
