The fixed-bed reaction results show that the formation of methane was favored by not only high temperature, but also high feed velocity, low pressure, as well as weak acid sites dominated on deactivated catalyst. The thermodynamic analysis results indicate that methane would be formed via the decomposition reactions of methanol and DME, and the hydrogenolysis reactions of methanol and DME. The decomposition reactions are thermal chemistry processes and easily occurred at high temperature. However, they are influenced by catalyst and reaction conditions through DME intermediate. By contrast, the hydrogenolysis reactions belong to catalytic processes. Parallel experiments suggest that, in real MTH reactions, the hydrogenolysis reactions should be mainly enabled by surface active H atom which might come from hydrogen transfer reactions such as aromatization. But H2 will be involved if the catalyst has active components like NiO.展开更多

Then methanol-to-hydrocarbons （MTH） reaction was investigated over the above as-prepared catalysts and the dissoluble coke on these used catalysts was analyzed by GC-MS, to study the role of the external surface of HZSM-5 in the catalytic reaction. Comparison with the experi- mental results based on parent ZSM-5 showed that the product distribution of MTH reaction was obviously influenced by the external surface. Evidences were listed as follows： （1） the final product on parent HZSM-5 showed higher aromatic selectivity, lower olefin selectivity, lower ra- tio of C2/C3＋ aliphatics and higher ratio of C3/C4＋ aliphatics than the reaction mixture produced by the sole catalysis of acidic sites in HZSM-5 channel; （2） a little of pentamethylbenzene and hexamethylbenzene in the product on parent HZSM-5, was produced via multi-methylation of methylbenzene on the external surface. The above conclusion may also be suitable for MTH reaction over other zeolites with 10-ring channel.展开更多

With the proposal of global carbon neutrality, much attention has been paid to the thermocatalytic hydrogenation of CO_(2) into value-added chemicals and fuels, which is widely considered as a promising way to alleviate carbon emission and energy shortage. CO_(2) hydrogenation to hydrocarbons mainly undergoes a CO_(2)-modified Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (CO_(2)-FTS) route or a methanol-mediated (MeOH) route. However, each route needs to be further optimized and possesses its own advantages and disadvantages. In the present review, the mechanisms and primary intermediates of these two routes are firstly summarized. Hereafter, the current understandings of the relationship among catalytic performance, physical-chemical properties of catalysts and reaction conditions for each route are overviewed according to different target products, including light olefins, gasoline, jet fuel, diesel and aromatics. Finally, we provide an outlook of dual-pathway catalysts on future direction of CO_(2) hydrogenation.展开更多
