Conversion of Methanol to Hydrocarbons over Ni-zsm-5 Catalyst
نویسندگان
چکیده
As stock of crude oil is limited, new resources for fuel and petrochemicals are required to be developed. Natural gas or biogas can be easily converted into methanol which can be converted into gasoline and olefins. This study uses zeolite catalyst (ZSM-5) and its modification by Ni to convert methanol to hydrocarbons (MTH). Catalysts are studied at different temperatures and at different loadings of Ni for their performance in the MTH reaction. Modified ZSM-5 catalysts are characterized by XRD and BET. It was found that 8%Ni-ZSM-5 catalyst gives better results at 723K.

Catalytic Conversion of Methanol to Hydrocarbons over different wt% Ni-HZSM-5
Due to crude oil is limited, new resources for fuel and petrochemicals are important to be developed. Biogas or NG (Natural Gas) can be easily converted into methanol which can be reacted over zeolite to produce olefins and gasoline. HZSM-5 zeolite catalyst has been used in this study and its modification by (0.5wt%, 1wt%, 2wt% and 4wt %) Ni to convert methanol to hydrocarbons (MTH). Catalysts ...
متن کاملMethanol-to-Hydrocarbons Product Distribution over SAPO-34 and ZSM-5 Catalysts: The applicability of Thermodynamic Equilibrium and Anderson-Schulz-Flory Distribution
The product distribution of methanol to hydrocarbons conversion over SAPO-34 and ZSM-5 catalysts was studied using thermodynamic equilibrium and Anderson-Schulz-Flory (ASF) distributions. The equilibrium compositions were calculated using constrained Gibbs free energy minimization. The effect of catalyst type was considered by setting upper limits to product carbon number due to sh...
متن کاملSelective Synthesis of Gasoline-Ranged Hydrocarbons from Syngas over Hybrid Catalyst Consisting of Metal-Loaded ZSM-5 Coupled with Copper-Zinc Oxide
The conversion of syngas (CO + H2) to gasoline-ranged hydrocarbons was carried out using a hybrid catalyst consisting of metal-loaded ZSM-5 coupled with Cu-ZnO in a near-critical n-hexane solvent. Methanol was synthesized from syngas over Cu-ZnO; subsequently, was converted to hydrocarbons through the formation of dimethyl ether (DME) over the metal-loaded ZSM-5. When 0.5 wt% Pd/ZSM-5 and 5 wt%...
متن کاملApplication of Inelastic Neutron Scattering to the Methanol-to-Gasoline Reaction Over a ZSM-5 Catalyst
Inelastic neutron scattering (INS) is used to investigate a ZSM-5 catalyst that has been exposed to methanol vapour at elevated temperature. In-line mass spectrometric analysis of the catalyst exit stream confirms methanol-to-gasoline chemistry, whilst ex situ INS measurements detect hydrocarbon species formed in/on the catalyst during methanol conversion. These preliminary studies demonstrate ...
متن کاملThe importance of heat effects in the methanol to hydrocarbons reaction over ZSM-5: on the role of mesoporosity on catalyst performance
Interpretation of catalytic performance during the MTH process is hampered by heat transport phenomena. We demonstrate that large temperature rises can occur during fixed bed labscale catalyst testing of ZSM-5, even when a large catalyst bed dilution is applied. Formation of mesopores in ZSM-5 leads to partial mitigation of these effects because of a lower generation of heat per unit catalyst v...
