Conversion to Aromatic Hydrocarbons Over Nano- and Micro-Sized Particle La/Zn/HZSM-5 Catalysts.

The effect of the template of HZSM-5 and its synthesis method on the catalytic conversions of ethanol to aromatic hydrocarbons has been investigated over a 0.8%Zn/0.6%La/HZSM-5 (Si/Al2 = 50) catalyst in a fixed-bed flow reactor under operating conditions of T = 710 K, P = 1 bar, and WHSV = 0.
