description Here, the efficient synthesis of propylene from methanol was achieved using a series of HZSM-5 catalysts. The effect of the structure and morphology of ZSM-5 on the conversion of methanol to propylene was studied. The structure and physicochemical properties of the synthesized catalysts were analyzed by multiple characterization techniques. The characterization results revealed that the alumina content rationally modified the acid properties of ZSM-5. When using a ZSM-5 catalyst with a hexagonal single crystal and a Si/Al ratio of 177, the selectivity of propylene reached 39.7% at 480 °C. Furthermore, the formation of methane was reduced. This provides a clue for catalyst design to enable the selective transformation of methanol into propylene.
