Oxide-zeolite composite catalysts for the reduction of carbon dioxide with simultaneous aromatization of propane

Oxide-zeolite composite catalysts were designed for the reduction of CO 2 with simultaneous aromatization of C 3 H 8 . Oxides of Fe and V were selected as the oxide components which are active for the reduction of CO 2 and inactive for the decomposition of C 3 H 8 , and Ga-loaded HZSM-5 was selected as the zeolite component selectively aromatizing C 3 H 8 . Composite catalysts containing these components were revealed to exhibit high activity for the reduction of CO 2 and high selectivity for the aromatization of C 3 H 8 .
