C to H effective ratio as a descriptor for co-processing light oxygenates and CH4 on Mo/H-ZSM-5

Abstract

Co-processing of H₂O, CO₂, and light (C_1–2) oxygenates with CH₄ at 950 K over Mo/H-ZSM-5 catalysts results in complete fragmentation of the oxygenate and CO as the sole oxygen-containing product. The C/H_eff accounts for removal of O as CO and describes the net C₆H₆ and total hydrocarbon synthesis rates at varying (0.0–0.10) oxygenate and H₂ to CH₄ co-feed ratios.
