Abstract
This invention is for a catalyst for conversion of hydrocarbons. The catalyst is a medium pore germanium zeolite, a germanium aluminophosphate (AlPO) or a germanium silicoaluminophosphate (SAPO). At least one metal selected from Group 10 is deposited on the medium pore zeolite and, optionally on the germanium aluminophosphate (AlPO) or a germanium silicoaluminophosphate (SAPO). The catalyst is prepared by synthesizing a medium pore zeolite, an aluminophosphate (AlPO) or a silicoaluminophosphate (SAPO) with germanium incorporated into the framework and calcining the medium pore germanium zeolite, germanium aluminophosphate (AlPO) or germanium silicoaluminophosphate (SAPO). At least one metal may be deposited on the germanium zeolite, germanium aluminophosphate (AlPO) or a germanium silicoaluminophosphate (SAPO). The catalyst may be used in a process for the conversion of hydrocarbons, such as propane to aromatics, by contacting the catalyst with a hydrocarbon stream containing alkanes having 2 to 12 carbon atoms per molecule and recovering the product.
