Abstract: Dimethyl ether can be effectively converted into aromatics over a Zn/H-ZSM-5 catalyst, and a high yield of C8 aromatics is achieved. The aromatization performance was affected by SiO2/Al2O3 ratio, Zn amount, and reaction temperature.

Key words: dimethyl ether, aromatization, zinc, H-ZSM-5 zeolite, supported catalyst
