What Types of Catalysts are Used in the MTH Process?
The most commonly used catalysts in the MTH process are zeolites, particularly ZSM-5. Zeolites are microporous aluminosilicate minerals that provide an excellent surface area and specific pore structure, which are beneficial for catalytic activity. Other catalysts such as SAPO-34 and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are also being explored for their unique properties and potential advantages.
