Light olefins are important feedstocks and platform molecules for the chemical industry.
Their synthesis has been a research priority in both academia and industry. There are many …

Conspectus Thirty years ago, George A. Olah proposed the concept of the methanol
economy, where methanol replaces fossil fuels as a means of energy storage, ground …

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 …

Cascade processes are gaining momentum in heterogeneous catalysis. The combination of
several catalytic solids within one reactor has shown great promise for the one-step …

The production of valuable aromatics and the rapid catalyst deactivation due to coking are
intimately related in the zeolite-catalyzed aromatization reactions. Here, we demonstrate that …

As a commercial MTO catalyst, SAPO-34 zeolite exhibits excellent recyclability probably due
to its intrinsic good hydrothermal stability. However, the structural dynamic changes of SAPO …

The methanol-to-hydrocarbons (MTH) process is an industrially relevant method to produce
valuable light olefins such as propylene. One of the ways to enhance propylene selectivity is …

Neutral ketene is a crucial intermediate during zeolite carbonylation reactions. In this work,
the roles of ketene and its derivates (viz., acylium ion and surface acetyl) associated with …

To address the growing concerns regarding climate change and the depletion of fossil
resources, the zeolite ZSM-5 catalyzed methanol-to-olefin (MTO) process is considered to …

Gas-phase conversion of a model mixture of biomass tar (5 wt% naphthalene and 95 wt% of
1-methylnaphthalene) into 2-methylnaphthalene liquid product and ethylene and propane …
