Laser radiation introduced into the medium locally increases its temperature at the outlet of resulting products from the reactor and shifts their composition towards aromatic compounds.

The influence of the calcination temperature of silica aluminas on the characteristics of the prepared catalysts and the composition of C<sub>5+</sub> hydrocarbons formed in their presence was investigated.
