Abstract
A series of experiments were carried out by mixture of methanol and water as feed of the methanol to propylene (MTP) process in temperature range of 623-823 K. The H-ZSM5 catalyst with the Si/Al ratio of 200 was applied for carrying out the experiments. A novel lumped kinetic scheme was proposed for methanol to propylene (MTP) process. The reactor was mathematically modeled by assumptions of being isothermal, fixed bed, plug flow and the hybrid genetic algorithm was applied for estimating the kinetic parameters. The temperature dependency of the kinetic parameters was determined, using the modified Arrhenius relation. A good agreement was observed between the experimental and the calculated data. Effect of temperature on propylene and ethylene selectivity was investigated. It was found that the propylene selectivity increases with temperature until 773.15 K, but after that it decreases.
