Abstract

Four bifunctional catalysts were prepared by physical mixing of a commercial methanol synthesis catalyst (JC207 catalyst, a catalyst for methanol synthesis, which has been industrialized in China) with zeolite HZSM-5 (Si-Al ratios of 25, 38, 50, 150) as a methanol dehydration catalyst. The bifunctional catalyst (JC207/HZSM-5 [Si/Al = 38]) showed better performance, which can be attributed to more acidic sites with moderate strength of zeolite, and which can control methanol dehydration rate, which is a rate determining step.
