Abstract

The dehydroaromatization of CH4 over W-supported ZSM-5 with varying degrees of Li+ ion-exchanged catalysts was studied with and without oxygen at 1073 K and 1 atm. The activity and stability of the catalysts for the conversion of CH4 to aromatics over W supported HZSM-5 could be improved by replacing H+ proton associated with Brönsted acid with a suitable Li content on the ZSM-5 support and be further improved by adding oxygen in the feed. The 3WHLi-Z (5:1) catalyst with 74% of the original HZSM-5 strong acid sites displayed maximum activity and stability with and without oxygen addition in the feed gas.
