Summary:Numerical simulations of bench -scale reactor behaviour were carried out for methanol conversion to light olefins over a modified ZSM -5 type of zeolite catalyst. This catalyst has high selectivities and high yield properties for ethylene and propylene in methanol conversion. The kinetic model proposed consists of reactions in which olefins having 25 carbons are formed and cracking reactions. It was demonstrated that the calculated concentrations of species at the exit of the catalyst bed and the temperature profile in the bed were in good agreement with the observed data.
