What is Catalytic Conversion of LPG to High-Value Aromatics: The Current State of the Art and Future Predictions about?
This paper is an attempt to summarize the current position of catalytic conversion of LPG to aromatics. The low reactivity of LPG has long impeded its utilization as a petrochemical feedstock Except for its w e in the cracking of ethylene, LPG pactions hate mainly been consumed as fuel. Recently new catalytic processes now being commercialized have opened up new routes for the utilization of LPG as a source of valuable petrochemical intermediates. Five main processes are now available for converting LPG to aromatics, these processes are: M-2 Forming, Cyclar, Aroforming, Z-Forming, and the Alpha process. The aromatuation reaction mechanisms are generally accepted to be through dehydrogenation of parafins to olefins (which is the rate limiting step), then oligomerization to form dimers and trimers intermediates, followed by cyclization and de/y&ogenation to aromatics. The most selective catalytic systems employed in the aromatization of LPG are mainly zeolite-containing promoted catalysts.
