Site-Specific Activity Maps Observed during Methanol-to-Olefin Conversion over ZSM-5 Catalysts
Toyin Omojola
Abstract:The Sabatier principle has been applied to nonuniform
site ensembles
of ZSM-5 catalysts of different compositions (Si/Al = 25, 36, and
135) during the induction period of the conversion of methanol and
dimethyl ether to propylene. For the first time, site-specific volcano-plots
and site-specific activity-maps have been observed following microkinetic
simulations of the temperature-programmed surface reaction of methanol
and dimethyl ether over ZSM-5 catalysts in a temporal analysis of
products reactor. The mic… Show more
