Abstract
as a matrix would be very effective for this reaction and draw the maximum catalytic functions. When the reaction route was estimated from the amounts of methane and C2 and C3 fractions formed, it was proposed that active Zn species would catalyze the aromatization of olefins where benzene is formed from ethene and butene, toluene from propene and butene, and xylene from 2 molecules of butene.
