Kinetic modeling of catalytic transformation of methanol and ethanol into hydrocarbons: a review

Abstract

Several studies have been conducted on the methanol and ethanol conversion to hydrocarbons or olefins. Kinetic modeling helps researchers in interpreting the mechanism of a catalytic reaction and simulating experimental effects. Theoretical methods are valuable tools in this context for investigating experimental results related to mechanism or reactivity. The deterministic kinetic modeling incorporates theory and experimental results, allowing it to illustrate a catalyst in industrial conditions. This review included different kinetic models including the Lumped-Parameter model and Langmuir-Hinshelwood model
