Popis: |
Methanol-to-olefin (MTO) catalysis is a very active field of research because there is a wide variety of sometimes conflicting mechanistic proposals. An example is the ongoing discussion on the initial C-C bond formation from methanol during the induction period of the MTO process. By employing a combination of solid-state NMR spectroscopy with UV/Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy and mass spectrometry on an active H-SAPO-34 catalyst, we provide spectroscopic evidence for the formation of surface acetate and methyl acetate, as well as dimethoxymethane during the MTO process. As a consequence, new insights in the formation of the first C-C bond are provided, suggesting a direct mechanism may be operative, at least in the early stages of the MTO reaction. |
