A process for the treatment of a light naphtha feedstock that comprises normal paraffins and iso-paraffins may include separating the feedstock into a first iso-paraffin stream and a normal paraffin stream. The separating may be performed with 5A molecular sieves, a pressure of about 1-3 bars, and a temperature of 100-260° C. A product stream may be provided by subjecting the normal paraffin stream to at least one of steam cracking, isomerizing, and aromatizing.

The invention relates to a process configuration for production of light olefins and aromatics from residual hydrocarbon streams. In this configuration a high severity catalytic cracking process is employed for producing higher yields of lighter olefins and various boiling fractions. C4 stream separated from gaseous product is subjected to metathesis and aromatized to form mono aromatics.

The present invention provides a catalyst for aromatization of a long-carbon chain alkane and a preparation method thereof. In the present invention, a molecular sieve containing a BEA structure is taken as an active component and mixed with a carrier, and then the mixture is formed, dried and calcined to obtain the catalyst for aromatization of a long-carbon chain alkane. The active component is prepared by taking a Naβ molecular sieve as a raw material and modifying through the following steps of: first obtaining an Hβ molecular sieve through ammonium ion-exchange, and then conducting dealumination and silicon insertion treatment of the Hβ molecular sieve through first hydrothermal treatment; forming a mesoporous structure in a molecular sieve framework through second hydrothermal treatment; reducing the acidity of the catalyst by potassium ion exchange, and finally using metal modification to improve the capability of the catalyst for catalyzing the aromatization of the long-carbon chain alkane and enhancing the toluene selectivity. The catalyst provided by the present invention shows high stability in the aromatization of the long-chain alkane and has a service life up to 170 h or above and aromatic hydrocarbon selectivity up to 80%, and the selectivity to toluene in aromatic hydrocarbon products can reach 85.5%.
