Abstract:
A process comprising contacting under conversion conditions a hydrocarbon feed comprising hydrocarbons containing 2-16 carbon atoms per molecule with a composition prepared by a method comprising:exposing a mixture comprising a zeolite and a binder to an atmosphere of a gaseous mixture comprising an inert gas and boron trichloride under temperature conditions and for a time period suitable for providing said catalyst wherein said conversion conditions include a reaction temperature in the range of from about 400.degree. C. to about 800.degree. C., a contacting pressure in the range of from subatmospheric pressure upwardly to about 500 psia, a charge rate of said hydrocarbon feed such that the weight hourly space velocity is in the range of from exceeding 0 hours.sup.-1 upwardly to about 1000 hour.sup.-1 to thereby provide a conversion product including aromatics and olefins.
