The conversion of propane into aromatic hydrocarbons has been studied at 400–540°C, using H-ZSM-11, Zn-ZSM-11, H-ZSM-5 and Zn-ZSM-5 zeolites. The zinc-exchanged forms of ZSM-11 and ZSM-5 were more active and gave better aromatic selectivity. The aromatics yield increased with the temperature and BTX selectivity increased with space velocity.
