Methanol conversion to hydrocarbons via acidic catalysts by Liu, B

“…Another critical issue is the binder-incorporated, shaped zeolite catalysts would be better tested in larger reactors which are not often seen in the regular laboratory, and the scale-up also increases the research budgets. It should be mentioned that catalyst deactivation is another crucial limitation in this research area; particularly, the reaction formed cokes especially the higher-density, and deeply dehydrogenated graphitized compounds deopsiting deeply inside the zeolite cavities/channels give many difficulties not only in the effective methanol conversion but also in detecting and measuring their quantity and compositions.…”
