The methanol to hydrocarbon (MTH) process provides an efficient route for the conversion of
carbon-based feedstocks into olefins, aromatics and gasoline. Still, there is room for …

Fischer–Tropsch synthesis (FTS) occupies a key position in the search for alternatives to
petroleum for obtaining liquid hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbons can be produced from …

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 …

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 …

The formation mechanism of the original C–C bond in methanol conversion to hydrocarbons
over zeolite catalysts remains a grand challenge, although many researchers have done a …

The effect of the catalyst properties, particularly matrix acidity and its properties, has been
studied in the transformation of dimethyl ether (DME) to light olefins. The catalysts used were …

The initiation of the methanol-to-olefins (MTO) process is investigated using a multiscale
modeling approach where more than 100 ab initio computed (MP2: DFT) rate constants for …

Polyoxymethylene dimethyl ethers (PODE n, CH 3 O (CH 2 O) n CH 3, where n≥ 1) are
receiving much attention as ideal diesel fuel additives because they can significantly reduce …

The carbonylation of formaldehyde offers a promising, cost-effective, and environmentally
friendly method for synthesizing glycolic acid, a crucial monomer in biodegradable plastics …

In this contribution, we investigate the initiation mechanism of the methanol-to-olefins
process for the different zeotype materials, H-SSZ-13, H-ZSM-5, H-BEA and H-SAPO-34 …
