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 />
