Physicochemical properties and activity of Mo-containing zeolite catalysts of nonoxidative conversion of methane

High-silica zeolites of ZSM-5 structural type were synthesized using various structure-forming additives and without them. Mo-containing catalytic systems were prepared on the basis of these zeolites. Their physicochemical properties and activity in the course of the nonoxidative conversion of methane were studied. The Mo/ZSM-5 catalyst obtained on the basis of zeolite synthesized with hexamethylenediamine showed high aromatizing activity and stability.
