Zeolite catalysts are highly effective in the production of aromatics due to their unique porous structure and acidity. They are commonly used in processes like fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) and hydrocracking, which break down larger hydrocarbon molecules into smaller, aromatic-rich compounds. Zeolites are also employed in the methanol-to-aromatics (MTA) process, where they facilitate the conversion of methanol into benzene, toluene, and xylene.
