摘要

Metal-modified H-ZSM-5 has a high selectivity of aromatics in methanol to aromatics(MTA)reaction,which is often attributed to the metal promoting the aromatization of intermediate olefins.However,the effect of methanol dehydrogenation on aromatics formation over these catalysts is rarely studied.Here,we report that HCHO,which is formed by methanol dehydrogenation over Zn/H-ZSM-5 prepared by Zn impregnation,can participate in the synthesis of aromatics.Methanol conversion can produce more aromatics than olefins(propylene or ethylene)conversion over Zn/H-ZSM-5,indicating the conventional MTA pathway including methanol-to-olefins and olefins-to-aromatics is not complete.Moreover,an MTA mechanism including the conventional pathway and the methanol and HCHO coupling pathway is sys-tematically proposed.
