I would like to ask, what are the prospects for methanol aromatization?
Thread Content
I have been working on this research; it has been carried out both domestically and internationally, but the yield and selectivity are not very high. Is there anyone who can offer some advice?
No one is showing interest; is the topic too broad?
Reply to 3# anndy1971: It’s mainly aromatics, including toluene, xylene, and so on
Personally, I don’t think it holds much significance. The intention behind developing downstream applications for methanol is good, but what are the main products of methanol aromatization? This requires attention: whether it is benzene and para-xylene, which have higher economic value, or other aromatic hydrocarbon products; additionally, market demand and the issue of market saturation must also be taken into consideration!
Reply to 5# musf: The survey results are similar to what you said – the added value of the product is very low, and we are considering giving up on it.
How many mature technologies are available in China currently?
It seems that no mature technology exists in China yet; it’s still in the laboratory stage.
