Recent trends
and fundamental insights in the methanol-to-hydrocarbons process

Abstract
The production of high-demand chemical commodities such as ethylene and
propylene (methanol-to-olefins), hydrocarbons (methanol-to-hydrocarbons),
gasoline (methanol-to-gasoline) and aromatics (methanol-to-aromatics) from
methanol—obtainable from alternative feedstocks, such as carbon dioxide,
biomass, waste or natural gas through the intermediate formation of synthesis
gas—has been central to research in both academia and industry. Although
discovered in the late 1970s, this catalytic technology has only been
industrially implemented over the past decade, with a number of large
commercial plants already operating in Asia. However, as is the case for other
technologies, industrial maturity is not synonymous with full understanding.
For this reason, research is still intense and a number of important
discoveries have been reported over the last few years. In this review, we
summarize the most recent advances in mechanistic understanding—including
direct C–C bond formation during the induction period and the promotional
effect of zeolite topology and acidity on the alkene cycle—and correlate these
insights to practical aspects in terms of catalyst design and engineering.

Research Interests
My research area lies in the field of heterogeneous catalysis and its
application in C1 chemistry. I use the novel techniques of materials synthesis
and characterization to develop the catalysts for CO2, methane and methanol
conversion as an alternative and sustainable method to obtain conventional
products via unconventional routes.
