Abstract
The transformation of ethane into aromatic hydrocarbons over Zn-metal-conta ining zeolites at W/F=10 gh/mol and 550 degrees C was studied in a flow rea ctor at atmospheric pressure. Zn-metal-zeolite modified the activation mode of the alkane, generating highly reactive intermediates and enhancing the aromatic selectivity.
