Abstract
Abstarct. Processing of propane-butane and propane-propylene fractions in light hydrocarbons on the zeolite catalysts modified by zinc, manganese, cobalt, lanthanum was studied. It was shown that the degree of conversion on the Zn-La-Co-ZSM-AI2O3 catalyst increases from 40.2 to 99.0% as the temperature increasesfrom450to600 °C. The maximum yield of aromatic hydrocarbons was 31.4%. As the temperature increases from 450 to 600С, the cracking of hydrocarbons intensifies resulting in the formation of methane and ethane. New generation catalysts based on zeolites have the prospect of being used in technologies for processing various types of hydrocarbon raw materials. The activity of catalysts in the processing of light hydrocarbons depends on the structure and state of the active centers. The physicochemical characteristics of the developed catalysts have been studied. One of the possible ways to control the catalytic properties is to introduce a variable valence catalyst as modifiers into the composition.
