ABSTRACT:
Process for the removal of higher hydrocarbons contained in natural gas further containing sulphur compounds by simultaneous conversion of the hydrocarbons to aromatic compounds and methane in presence of a catalyst comprising a crystalline alumino silicate having in its anhydrous state a formula expressed in terms of mole ratios as follows:in-line-formulae description="In-line Formulae" end="lead"?xQ:0.01–0.1 M2
O:0–0.08 Z2O3:SiO2:0.0001–0.5 Me,in-line-formulae description="In-line Formulae" end="tail"?wherein:Q is an organic nitrogen compound;Z is aluminum, boron, gallium or mixtures thereof;x is between 0 and 0.5;M is at least one metal cation of valence n or proton; andMe is at least one of the metals, which form a water insoluble sulphide by contact with a sulphur compound being present in the natural gas and/or in a preparation mixture for preparation of the catalyst.
