The MTH process finds applications in several areas:
1. Fuel Production: The process can produce gasoline-range hydrocarbons, providing an alternative to traditional petroleum refining. 2. Chemical Feedstocks: Light olefins produced in the MTH process serve as precursors for various chemicals and polymers, such as polyethylene and polypropylene. 3. Aromatics Production: The formation of aromatics like benzene, toluene, and xylene (BTX) is crucial for the synthesis of numerous industrial chemicals.
