TLDR
In this paper, a carbenium ion mechanism incorporating these findings is presented for the conversion of methanol to hydrocarbons over HZSM-5, where the authors show that most of the produced ethylene is not a primary C 1 coupling product, but rather a secondary product derived from methyl attack on C 3 + olefins.

Conversion of Methanol to Hydrocarbons: How Zeolite Cavity and Pore Size Controls Product Selectivity

TL;DR: This Review presents several commercial MTH projects that have recently been realized, and also fundamental research into the synthesis of microporous materials for the targeted variation of selectivity and lifetime of the catalysts.

Methanol to Olefins (MTO): From Fundamentals to Commercialization

TL;DR: In this paper, a brief summary of the key issues for the methanol-to-olefins (MTO) reaction is given, including studies on the reaction mechanism, molecular sieve synthesis and crystallization mechanism, catalyst and its manufacturing scale-up, reactor selection and reactor scaleup, process demonstration, and commercialization.

Organic catalysis over zeolites: A perspective on reaction paths within micropores

TL;DR: A broad classification and survey of organic chemistry over zeolites is presented in this paper, which reflects, for the most part, a mechanistic rather than a process or applications frame of reference.

Mechanism of the Catalytic Conversion of Methanol to Hydrocarbons

TL;DR: The discovery of the dual aromatic-and olefin-based catalytic cycles in methanol-to-hydrocarbons (MTH) catalysis on acid zeolites has given a new context for rationalizing structure-function relationships for this complex chemistry as mentioned in this paper.

Selective alkylation of toluene with methanol to produce para-xylene

TL;DR: In this paper, a controlled reduction in the effective dimensions of the catalyst pore openings, and/or channels, along with deactivation of acidic surface sites, has been proposed as a mechanism for the selective production of p-xylene.

Reactions on ZSM-5-type zeolite catalysts

TL;DR: In this paper, the main features of the catalytic conversion process are discussed and a mechanism is suggested for the formation of sorbed C3,C4 olefinic residues, and for initial carbon-carbon bond formation from methanol.
