The production of high-demand chemical commodities such as ethylene and propylene
(methanol-to-olefins), hydrocarbons (methanol-to-hydrocarbons), gasoline (methanol-to …

Acid-catalyzed reactions inside zeolites are one type of broadly applied industrial reactions,
where carbocations are the most common intermediates of these reaction processes …

The methanol-to-aromatics (MTA) process is regarded as a promising route to produce
aromatic commodities through non-petroleum carbon resources, such as biomass, waste …

As the conversion of methanol to olefins (MTO) over a zeolite catalyst is conducted on acid
sites derived from framework aluminum (AlF), it is possible to enhance the catalytic …

Hydrogen transfer is the major route in catalytic conversion of methanol to olefins (MTO) for
the formation of nonolefinic byproducts, including alkanes and aromatics. Two separate …

Controlling the location of acid sites in zeolites can have a great effect on catalysis. In this
work we face the objective of directing the location of Al into the 10R channels of ZSM-5 by …

The underlying mechanisms of the two distinct catalytic cycles operating during conversion
of methanol to olefins (MTO) on HZSM-5 have been elucidated under industrially relevant …

Formaldehyde is an important intermediate product in the catalytic conversion of methanol to
olefins (MTO). Here we show that formaldehyde is present during MTO with an average …

Light olefin selectivity in methanol-to-hydrocarbons conversion on MFI increases with an
increase in crystallite size because intra-crystalline residence time of methylbenzenes …

The philosophy of “Ikigai”─ a reason for being─ could be extended to rationalize the role of
organic reaction intermediates in zeolite catalysis. Each reaction intermediate's ikigai is …
