Abstract

The catalytic activity of Na, H-Y zeolite samples with a varying Si/Al ratio (2·5 to 20) in the transformation of methanol was determined. The amounts of formed individual aliphatic hydrocarbons as function of reaction time were correlated with the amount of Bronsted and Lewis centres on the catalysts. The effect of coke formation on the over-all course of the reaction has been demonstrated.
