Zeolite-based catalysts for methanol to gasoline process: A review

Recent advances in hydrogenation of CO2 into hydrocarbons via methanol intermediate over heterogeneous catalysts

“…Since the MTH process is a mature field of research, many excellent reviews are available in the literature covering the various aspects of the process including fundamental understanding, catalysts, structures, etc. [168][169][170][171][172][173] Here we attempt to provide a description of the This article is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0 Unported Licence.…”

Silica-Related Catalysts for CO2 Transformation into Methanol and Dimethyl Ether

“…Because of its high acidity and microporous channels structure, the diffusion and removal of large molecules is difficult, and conventional ZSM-5 zeolite is quickly deactivated by coke deposition. This drawback can be overcome by modifying some of the physicochemical properties of the zeolite, such as the Si/Al ratio, porosity, crystal size or its framework by introducing an ion into it [111]. Regarding the Si/Al ratio modification, it is usually carried out through a post-synthesis treatment.…”

Effect of ethane and ethylene on catalytic non oxidative coupling of methane

“…Current industrial methods for converting natural gas into base chemicals are multistep processes starting from methane steam-reforming to obtain syngas 13 . The syngas can be converted into paraffins in the Fischer-Tropsch (FT) process 8 or used for methanol synthesis, followed by methanol to gasoline (MTG) 14 or methanol to olefins (MTO) 12 . The large number of process steps at different temperatures and pressures makes the processes energy intensive and only viable at large installed capacities 15 .…”
