The transformation of n-pentane into aromatic hydrocarbons over Zn-exchanged ZSM-11 zeolite (Zn-ZSM-11) has been studied. The catalyst exhibited a high activity and BTX selectivity for n-C5 conversion at about 538°C, 1 h–1 and 1 atm. Zn-species are effective for the activation of the n-pentane and the transformation of intermediate products into aromatic compounds
