Abstract
High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide The methanol-to-olefins (MTO) reaction is an interesting and important reaction for both fundamental research and industrial application. The Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DICP) has developed a MTO technology that led to the successful construction and operation of the world’s first coal to olefin plant in 2010. This historical perspective gives a brief summary on the key issues for the process development, including studies on the reaction mechanism, molecular sieve synthesis and crystallization mechanism, catalyst and its manufacturing scale-up, reactor selection and reactor scale-up, process demonstration, and commercialization. Further challenges on the fundamental research and the directions for future catalyst improvement are also suggested.
