Methanol to Hydrocarbons Reaction Mechanism over Zeolite Catalyst

Jaikishor Mavai

Methanol as an alternative source of fossil fuel reduced carbon emissions like carbon dioxide, NOX, and other hazardous pollutants, etc. which created air pollution and affected the environment and human beings. Methanol is obtained from alternative feed stocks, such as carbon dioxide, biomass, municipal waste, or natural gas through the intermediate formation of synthesis gas. The most recent advances in mechanistic understanding including direct C– C bond formation during the induction period and the promotional effect of zeolite catalyst topology and acidity on the alkene cycle and discussed the reaction mechanism of the conversion of Methanol to Olefins (MTO), Methanol to Hydrocarbons, (MTH) Methanol to Gasoline (MTG) and Methanol to Aromatics (MTA).
