Neutron scattering methods such as quasielastic neutron scattering (QENS) and inelastic neutron scattering (INS) have been used to study the reactivity of propene and 1-octene over the acid zeolite catalyst H-ZSM-5. The high activity of the catalyst...

Neutron scattering studies of the methanol-to-hydrocarbons reaction (2023)
Journal Article
Zachariou, A., Hawkins, A. P., Collier, P., Howe, R. F., Parker, S. F., & Lennon, D. (2023). Neutron scattering studies of the methanol-to-hydrocarbons reaction. Catalysis Science & Technology, 13(7), 1976-1990. https://doi.org/10.1039/d2cy02154d

The methanol-to-hydrocarbons reaction uses a zeolite catalyst (typically H-ZSM-5 or SAPO-34) to produce light olefins (mainly C2–C4) for chemical feedstocks and methylated benzenes for use as fuels. The reaction is a major industrial process world-wi... Read More about Neutron scattering studies of the methanol-to-hydrocarbons reaction.
