Formaldehyde (HCHO), generating from hydrogen transfer (HT) of reactant, is significant for autocatalysis initiation and deactivation in methanol-to-olefins (MTO), but hitherto, its evolution throughout the reaction has not been thoroughly revealed. Herein, by established colorimetric analysis method, HCHO MTO dimethyl ether (DME)-to-olefins (DTO) reactions over SAPO-34 was situ quantitatively ...

The use of methanol over ZSM-5 and modified catalysts for the production light olefins has emerged as an effective new strategy this industry. In methanol-to-olefin (MTO) process, challenges are maintaining product selectivity prolonging lifetime catalyst manufacturing become

The ambitious CO2 emission reduction targets for the transport sector set in Paris Climate Agreement require low-carbon energy solutions that can be commissioned rapidly. production of gasoline, kerosene, and diesel from renewable methanol using methanol-to-olefins (MTO) Mobil’s Olefins to Gasoline Distillate (MOGD) syntheses was investigated this study via process simulation economic analysis....

Light olefins, which are vital components for the petrochemical industry, are traditionally obtained through the refinement of crude oil. However, the rapidly increasing demand of oil-based chemicals calls for the development of new technologies based on alternative natural sources. Among these processes, the methanol-to-hydrocarbons (MTH) technology is one of the most promising and currently e...

The methanol-to-olefin (MTO) process allows the conversion of methanol/dimethyl ether into olefins on acidic zeolites via the so-called hydrocarbon pool mechanism. However, the site and mechanism of formation of the first carbon-carbon bond are still a matter of debate. Here, we show that the Lewis acidic Al sites on the 110 facet of γ-Al2O3 can readily activate dimethyl ether to yield CH4, alk...

In order to enhance the catalytic performance of SAPO-34 catalyst for the reaction of methanol to olefins (MTO), ultrasonic and microwave-assisted aging method were employed in static hydrothermal method to synthesize nano-sized SAPO-34. The effects of the application of this method on the chemical composition, morphology, surface area and total acidity of SAPO-34 were characterized by XRD, FE-...

The pore size of the chabazite structure is exceptionally suitable for methanol to olefins (MTO) reaction. reaction has an induction period required formation a hydrocarbon pool (HP), usually composed aromatic compounds different sizes. HP alkylated by and afterward cracked, leading olefins. Despite importance HP, its growth in are exceedingly dependent on porosity catalyst. ideal that formed r...

Methanol to olefins (MTO) reaction as an important non-oil route produce light has been industrialized, and received over 80% ethylene plus propylene selectivity. However, achieve high single or selectivity towards the fluctuated market demand is still full of challenge. Small-pore SAPO-14 molecular sieve a rare MTO catalyst exhibiting extra-high It provides us valuable clue for further underst...

The reaction and separation sections are the keys to methanol-to-olefins (MTO) chemical processes, they should be optimized reduce cost of production. This work develops a framework for simultaneous design optimization distillation sections. An model with shortcut rigorous methods combined is established columns improve accuracy efficiency. With auxiliary devices selection utilities considered,...
