Desirable reactions with hydrogen production<br />
• Paraffin's dehydrocyclization<br />
– Multiple step reaction<br />
– Promoted by both acidic<br />
<strong>and</strong> metallic functions<br />

– Kinetically favored by high<br />
temperature, , <strong>and</strong> low<br />
pressure<br />
– Dehydrogenation step<br />
becomes easier as paraffin<br />
molecular weight increases,<br />
but is competed<br />
by hydro cracking<br />
– At the selected operating<br />
conditions, much lower<br />
rate than that of<br />
dehydrogenation<br />
