Abstract: An integrated process for conversion of a hydrocarbon stream comprising light naphtha to enhanced value products. The process includes passing the hydrocarbon stream through a first reactor, the first reactor being a catalytic bed reactor with a dual-function catalyst to simultaneously reform light naphtha to BTEX and crack light naphtha to ethane, propane, and butanes. Further, the process includes passing an effluent of the first reactor to a gas-liquid separating unit to generate a liquid stream and a gas stream, and passing the gas stream to a gas separator unit to remove hydrogen gas and methane and generate an enhanced gas stream. The process further includes passing the enhanced gas stream through a second reactor, the second reactor being a pyrolysis unit operated at steam cracking conditions to convert ethane, propane, and butanes in the enhanced gas stream to light.

Abstract: Examples described herein provide a method of making a nano-sized zeolite. The method comprises dissolving an aluminum source in a first portion of an aqueous solution of a templating agent to form a first mixture. The first mixture is added to a slurry of a silica source in a second portion of the aqueous solution of a templating agent to form an aluminosilicate fluid gel. The aluminosilicate fluid gel is stirred to allow reaction. The aluminosilicate fluid gel is dried to form a dry gel and the dry gel is hydrothermal treated in a hydrothermal treatment holder to form a solid product. The solid product is washed, dried, and calcined.
