Abstract: A method for the aromatization of hydrocarbons, comprising: introducing a feed stream to an aromatization catalyst in a fixed bed reactor wherein the feed stream comprises a hydrocarbon having 2 to 4 carbon atoms, converting the hydrocarbon having 2 to 4 carbon atoms to form an outlet stream comprising an aromatic hydrocarbon; wherein the feed stream is introduced at a GHSV of greater than or equal to 4,000 milliliters per gram of catalyst per hour(ml·g?1 Cat·h?1), and a pressure of greater than or equal to 0.4 MPa. The feed stream can comprise hydrogen in an amount of at least 0.1 volume percent (vol %) up to 20 vol % based upon total volume of the feed stream.

Abstract: A catalyst for converting ethane to monoaromatic hydrocarbons including: a zeolite; cesium oxide, wherein cesium of the cesium oxide is present in an amount of 0.01 to 0.5 weight percent, preferably 0.01 to 0.1 weight percent, more preferably 0.03 to 0.07 weight percent, based on a total weight of the catalyst; platinum oxide, wherein platinum of the platinum oxide is present in an amount of 0.01 to 1 weight percent, preferably 0.01 to 0.5 weight percent, more preferably 0.01 to 0.05 weight percent, based on a total weight of the catalyst; and gallium oxide, wherein gallium of the gallium oxide is present in an amount of 0.01 to 1 weight percent, preferably 0.03 to 0.5 weight percent, more preferably 0.05 to 0.2 weight percent, based on a total weight of the catalyst; wherein the monoaromatic hydrocarbons include benzene, toluene, xylene, or a combination including at least one of the foregoing.
