Dehydrogenation inhibition on nano-Au/ZSM-5 catalyst: a novel route for anti-coking in methanol to propylene reaction

Abstract

A novel route for anti-deactivation of methanol-to-propylene catalyst has been established through supporting nano-gold on ZSM-5, which efficiently reinforces the catalytic stability due to the effect of gold nanoparticles on the stabilization of dehydrogenation intermediates within the coking process.
