How much aromatic compounds can be extracted (produced) from a batch of naphtha?

I use naphtha as a raw material to produce light aromatics. What catalyst to use? How much aromatic compounds can be produced from one ton of naphtha? ?

Naphtha is reformed using a reforming catalyst (usually a catalyst containing platinum), in the presence of hydrogen; the resulting products consist mainly of aromatics such as triphenyl. Further, through aromatic extraction and separation, the individual aromatics are obtained (i.e., benzene, toluene, xylene, etc.). From your question, the amount of aromatics produced from a batch of naphtha depends on how much naphtha you can consume in that batch.
