C to H effective ratio as a descriptor for co-processing light oxygenates and CH 4 on Mo/H-ZSM-5

Co-processing of H2O, CO2, and light (C1–2) oxygenates with CH4 at 950 K over Mo/H-ZSM-5 catalysts results in complete fragmentation of the oxygenate and CO as the sole oxygen-containing product. The C/Heff accounts for removal of O as CO and describes the net C6H6 and total hydrocarbon synthesis rates at varying (0.0–0.10) oxygenate and H2 to CH4 co-feed ratios.
