Chemistry of the Methanol to Olefin Conversion

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Green Chemistry and Sustainable Technology ((GCST))

Abstract

Methanol conversion to olefin (MTO) has been an intriguing topic for both catalytic research and chemical industry. During the induction time, interesting chemistry occurred for the generation of initial olefin products. After the induction time, the chemistry of MTO proceeds mainly through hydrocarbon pool mechanism, in which carbon pool species are involved in either side-chain growth route or paring route to produce an olefin product. And other minor routes such as direct routes and olefin homologation/cracking route also play certain roles. However, more detailed and extensive research are ahead to fully describe the chemistry of MTO.

The commercialization of methanol conversion technology has been very successful, with several versions designated for certain products, i.e., MTG for gasoline and MTP for propylene. One million ton scale DMTO plant has been in full operation in China. Coupled with coal conversion to methanol, MTO technology is now a new route for major petrochemical raw materials.
