How Many Molecules Can Fit in a Zeolite Pore? Implications for the Hydrocarbon Pool Mechanism of the Methanol-to-Hydrocarbons Process

The methanol-to-hydrocarbons (MTH) process is a very advantageous way to upgrade methanol to more valuable commodity chemicals such as light alkenes and gasoline. There is general agreement that, at steady state, the process operates via a dual cycle “hydrocarbon pool” mechanism. This mechanism defi...
