Direct and selective conversion of methanol to para xylene over Zn ion doped ZSM 5/silicalite 1 core shell zeolite catalyst
Abstract We successfully designed Zn ion doped ZSM 5/silicalite 1 core shell zeolite catalyst. On methanol to para xylene (MT p X) over the core shell catalyst, p xylene yield was 40.7 C mol% and para selectivity para xylene selectivity in xylene isomers) was higher than 99 C mol% which substantially exceeds the other results reported in the literature.
