Abstract

The observed product distribution in methanol-to-hydrocarbons (MTH) catalysis can be rationalized based on the relative rates of propagation of the aromatic-and olefin-based cycles that operate on the zeolite catalyst. We report that the ratio of ethene to 2- methylbutane+ 2-methyl-2-butene (ethene/2MB) yield can be used to describe the propagation of aromatic and olefin methylation/cracking cycles. The co-reaction of 12C- ...
