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 propo...
