Conversion of methanol to ethylene over ZSM-5 zeolite in the presence of deuterated water

Journal Article · · J. Catal.; (United States)
When methanol, mixed with two volumes of deuterated water, is converted to ethylene and other hydrocarbons over ZSM-5 zeolite at 300/sup 0/C, deuteration of the residual dimethyl ether accompanies ethylene formation. The ethylene is also extensively deuterated. The data are interpreted in terms of an oxonium yield mechanism (Stevens-type rearrangement) for ethylene formation.
