X-ray Imaging of Zeolite Particles at the Nanoscale: Influence of Steaming on the State of Aluminum and the Methanol-To-Olefin Reaction

Abstract

Zeolites in the spotlight: A combination of scanning transmission X-ray microscopy (see picture) and bulk methods give nanoscale chemical insight in the distribution of Al and C within ZSM-5 zeolites during methanol-to-olefin reactions. The distinct catalyst performances could be related to differences in the spatial distribution of the hydrocarbons.
