Selective transformation of dimethyl ether into small molecular hydrocarbons over large-pore beta zeolite
In dimethyl ether (DME) conversion, large-pore beta zeolite is found possessing a novel performance of selectively synthesizing small molecular hydrocarbons, around 95% selectivity to C-3 + C-4 + C-5 with hardly any large molecular C6+ products, which does not follow the shape selectivity of zeolite with large pore system completely.
