Production of chemicals from methanol: I. Low molecular weight olefins

Methanol has been converted to water and hydrocarbons, with up to 70% selectivity to C 2C 4 olefins, at 100% conversion, over ZSM-5 class zeolite catalysts modified with phosphorus compounds. Ethylene is proposed as the initial hydrocarbon produced. Evidence for the alkylation of olefins with metha...

Summary:Methanol has been converted to water and hydrocarbons, with up to 70% selectivity to C 2C 4 olefins, at 100% conversion, over ZSM-5 class zeolite catalysts modified with phosphorus compounds. Ethylene is proposed as the initial hydrocarbon produced. Evidence for the alkylation of olefins with methanol or methyl ether over these catalysts to produce higher molecular weight olefins is presented.
