Abstract

Experimental data on the application of pentasil-type zeolites in the aromatization of lowmolecular-weight alkanes are surveyed. Examples of the transformation of ethane and propane into aromatics over pentasils containing Zn, Ga, or Ga-Pt are given. An important role of Pt in the formation of active and selective Ga-Pt catalysts for light alkane aromatization is shown.
