More Information
Summary:There is provided a catalyst exhibiting a high activity and less catalytic deterioration, as well as a high selectivity, suitable for use in allowing aromatic hydrocarbons of 9 or more carbon atoms to react, and thereby converting them into toluene and aromatic hydrocarbons of 8 carbon atoms more useful as gasoline bases, and a conversion method using the catalyst. The catalyst is used for converting aromatic hydrocarbons of 9 or more carbon atoms in a material oil containing a component with a boiling point exceeding 210° C. into toluene and aromatic hydrocarbons of 8 carbon atoms in the presence of hydrogen, and contains a carrier containing one or more than one zeolites in which the maximum pore diameter of micropores is in a range of 0.6 to 1.0 nm; and one or more than one metals selected from the Group VIA metals of the Periodic Table or compounds thereof.
