This article examines the catalytic properties of a number of new high-silica zeolite (HSZ) systems, including TsVK-1, TsVK-III, TsVM as well as a high-silica (HS) borosilicate, in the conversion of methanol to hydrocarbons. The conversion of certain hydrocarbons, including ethylene, a possible intermediate product in the conversion of methanol and a suggested precursor of the C/sub 4/-C/sub 10/ hydrocarbons, is studied in order to reveal possible methods for converting methanol into hydrocarbons in the presence of the examined catalysts. A high catalytic activity is demonstrated for a number of indigenous high-silica zeolites, with the most effective catalysts being a boron-containing silicate and NTsVM modified by Group VIII metals. The results indicate that as in the case of methanol, a number of other oxygen-containing compounds (ethers, ketones) as well as ethylene are converted into aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons in the presence of high-silica zeolites to form reaction products of similar qualitative composition. It is concluded that under the conditions studied the compounds investigated are converted into the cited hydrocarbons according to a single scheme.
