Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-6762-0971 Methanol to gasoline (MTG): Parametric study and validation of the process in a two-zone fluidized bed reactor (TZFBR) 2022 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted Methanol to Gasoline (MTG) process transforms methanol to hydrocarbons within the boiling point range of gasoline. The result is a wide spectrum of products (olefins, paraffins, aromatics and naphthenics, among others), with the total conversion of methanol to hydrocarbons and water. Catalyst deactivation by coke is a main problem in this process. This work aims to determine the feasibility of carrying out the production of gasoline from methanol in a two-zone fluidized bed reactor (TZFBR). The hypothesis is that the formation of carbonaceous deposits (coke) on the catalyst particles can be counteracted by its combustion in the regeneration zone that this novel reactor presents, thus achieving stable and continuous operation. In this way, both processes (reaction and regeneration) would be being carried out simultaneously in the same reactor (process intensification). The comparison of results between a conventional fluidized bed reactor and a TZFBR shows that the second one actually provides a better stability over time. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/CTQ2016-76533-R info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/PID2019-106196RB-I00 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 6.1 2022 ENGINEERING, CHEMICAL 23 / 141 = 0.163 2022 Q1 T1 CHEMISTRY, MULTIDISCIPLINARY 46 / 178 = 0.258 2022 Q2 T1 1.005 2022 Chemical Engineering (miscellaneous) 2022 Q1 11.1 2022 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Lasobras, J.
