This invention relates to a hydrogen spillover-based catalyst and use thereof, wherein a hydrogen activation metal cluster is dispersed in the form of being encapsulated in a crystalline or amorphous aluminosilicate matrix which is partially or fully structurally collapsed zeolite, thereby exhibiting high hydroprocessing or dehydrogenation activity and suppressed C-C hydrogenolysis activity.

The present disclosure is directed to the use of novel crystalline germanosilicate compositions in affecting a range of organic transformations. In particular, the crystalline germanosilicate compositions are extra-large-pore compositions, designated CIT-13 possessing 10- and 14-membered rings.

The present invention relates to a process for converting a feed comprising C2-C4 alkanes to higher hydrocarbon(s) including aromatic hydrocarbon(s) in n reaction zones operated in series, wherein m reaction zones are not participating in the conversion process and only (n-m) reaction zones are operated under reaction conditions sufficient to convert at least a portion of said a feed comprising C2-C4 alkanes to an effluent having said higher hydrocarbon(s). An object of the present invention is to provide a process for converting LPG to higher hydrocarbon(s) including aromatic hydrocarbon(s) wherein a high reactant, i.e. ethane, propane and/or butane, conversion can be achieved.
