Abstract: A method of producing a hierarchical zeolite composite catalyst is provided. The method includes dissolving, in an alkaline solution and in the presence of a surfactant, a catalyst precursor comprising mesoporous zeolite to yield a dissolved zeolite solution, where the mesoporous zeolite comprises large pore ZSM-12 and medium pore ZSM-5. The method also includes condensing the dissolved zeolite solution to yield a solid zeolite composite from the dissolved zeolite solution and heating the solid zeolite composite to remove the surfactant. The method further includes impregnating the solid zeolite composite with one or more active metals selected from the group consisting of platinum, rhenium, rhodium, molybdenum, nickel, tungsten, chromium, ruthenium, gold, and combinations thereof to yield impregnated solid zeolite composite and calcining the impregnated solid zeolite composite to produce the hierarchical zeolite composite catalyst.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and systems useful for producing aromatics-rich products from liquid hydrocarbon condensates. The production system includes a hydroprocessing reactor, an aromatization reactor system and a hydrogen extraction unit. The methods for producing the aromatics-rich products include introducing a wide boiling range condensate into the hydroprocessing reactor and operating the aromatics production system such that the hydroprocessing reactor forms a naphtha boiling temperature range liquid product. The liquid hydrocarbons produced in accordance with the present invention may optionally be further processed using a hydrogen extraction unit to produce a high-purity hydrogen fraction.
