METHANOL TO HYDROCARBONS TRANSFORMATION PROCESS USING MICROSTRUCTURED MONOLYTH CATALYST
Abstract
Renewable and waste resources valorization can considerably improve the ecological issues of modern industry and transport sectors of economy. Methanol to hydrocarbon reaction process can be considered one of the possible ways for biomass valorization, resulting in hydrocarbons formation applicable to the chemical industry and transport applications. This way includes biomass gasification process to form a syn-gas, the next step typically includes syn-gas transformation into methanol and the last one includes methanol to hydrocarbons transformation process. The first two steps are well defined and already found application in the industry, while the last one still has some technical issues. Low methanol to hydrocarbons transformation process efficiency remains the main disadvantage of this process. The application of microstructure monolith catalyst can be a possible way to solve the efficiency problems. The article is devoted to comparing methanol transformation process particularities over monolith and conventional spherical catalysts containing H-ZSM-5 zeolite as active phase. The process was provided in a tube reactor under ambient pressure, at 350 ?C, weight hourly space velocity (WHSV) was maintained at 0.3 kg(MeOH)/(kg(Cat)?h). Achieved results showed an increase in the reaction rate of the monolith catalyst for 30-35% compared to the conventional catalyst. Besides, provided experiments showed a possibility of monolith catalyst regeneration and its superior activity after the regeneration process.
