Catalysis Letters Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

In dimethyl ether (DME) conversion, large-pore beta zeolite is found possessing a novel performance of selectively synthesizing small molecular hydrocarbons, around 95% selectivity to C3 + C4 + C5 with hardly any large molecular C6+ products, which does not follow the shape selectivity of zeolite with large pore system completely.
