Molybdenum containing molecular sieves with MFI and MEL topologies have been synthesized hydrothermally and characterized using XRD and BET surface area. The activity of these catalysts for the conversion of methane to aromatics (benzene) has been examined at 958 K, under non-oxidative conditions. The results are compared with those obtained over H-ZSM-5 and Mo impregnated H-ZSM-5 catalysts. The hydrothermally synthesized Al and Mo containing molecular sieves are found to be efficient for the above reaction. An optimum amount of Mo is required to drive and sustain the reaction.
