A SAPO-34 catalyst is well known to be one of the best catalysts for DME to olefins (DTO) reaction. Main products of the reaction were light olefins such as ethylene, propylene and butenes. However, the main problem is rapid deactivation of the SAPO-34 catalyst due to coke deposition during DTO reaction. In this study, various SAPO-34/ZrO2 catalysts added with ZrO2 were prepared for improving the lifetime and their physicochemical properties have been characterized by XRD and SEM. The DTO reaction over various SAPO-34/ZrO2 catalysts was carried out using a fixed bed reactor. All SAPO-34/ZrO2 catalysts showed similar activity and selectivity in the DTO reaction. The SAPO-34(9wt%)/ZrO2 catalyst was showed the best performance for the catalyst lifetime.

In DME to olefins (DTO) reaction, SAPO-34 catalyst with CHA structure is well known to be one of the catalysts with good performance. However, the SAPO-34 catalyst is easily deactivated due to coke deposition during DTO reaction. In this study, MeAPSO-34 catalysts (Me=Mn, Co) were prepared for the increase of the catalyst lifetime and their properties have been characterized by XRD and SEM. The DTO reaction was carried out over the MeAPSO-34 catalysts, and the results were compared with the SAPO-34 catalyst. The lifetime of MeAPSO-34 catalysts with high DME conversion and selectivity of light olefins was prolonged than that of the SAPO-34 catalyst. It may be concluded that the decrease of strong acid sites, which were responsible for the formation of coke, affect on the lifetime of the MeAPSO-34 catalysts. In addition, the CoAPSO-34 catalyst with a Co additive showed the best performance in terms of the catalytic lifetime and the selectivity to light olefins.

Background: Ethylene, propylene, and butylene as light olefins are the most important intermediates in the petrochemical industry worldwide. Methanol to olefins (MTO) process is a new technology based on catalytic cracking to produce ethylene and propylene from methanol. Aims and Objective: This study aims to simulate the process of producing ethylene from methanol by using Aspen HYSYS software from the initial design to the improved design. Methods: Ethylene is produced in a two-step reaction. In an equilibrium reactor, the methanol is converted to dimethyl ether by an equilibrium reaction. The conversion of the produced dimethyl ether to ethylene is done in a conversion reactor. Changes have been made to improve the conditions and get closer to the actual process design done in the industry. The plug flow reactor has been replaced by the equilibrium reactor, and the distillation column was employed to separate the dimethyl ether produced from the reactor. Result and Conclusion: The effect of the various parameters on the ethylene production was investigated. Eventually, ethylene is
