Abstract: A method for producing light aromatic hydrocarbons from C9+ aromatic hydrocarbons includes a step of contacting a C9+ aromatic hydrocarbon with a dealkylation catalyst comprising a KL zeolite, and platinum and a modifying metal supported thereon in the presence of hydrogen, to obtain a light aromatic hydrocarbon. The modifying metal is selected from the group consisting of Group IIA metals and rare earth metals. By using a Pt/KL catalyst comprising a specific modifying metal in the dealkylation reaction of C9+ aromatic hydrocarbons for producing light aromatic hydrocarbons, the method shows the advantages of high conversion rate of feedstock, high yield of light aromatic hydrocarbons, good reaction selectivity.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a pre-passivation process for a continuous reforming apparatus prior to the reaction, or a passivation process for a continuous reforming apparatus during the initial reaction, comprising loading a reforming catalyst into the continuous reforming apparatus, starting the gas circulation and raising the temperature of a reactor, injecting sulfide into the gas at a reactor temperature ranging from 100-650° C., controlling the sulfur amount in the recycle gas within a range of 0.5-100×10?6 L/L so as to passivate the apparatus.
