Abstract
Abstract The importance of zeolites as catalysts hardly needs to be emphasized. In the recent past the research activity in this area registered a noticeable increase after the discovery of ZSM-type zeolites. A single-step conversion of methanol into a mixture of hydrocarbons, predominantly in the gasoline range, would have been considered highly improbable before this discovery. Apart from their unusual shape selectivity, the low coking character of these zeolites is of particular importance to industrial practice. The discovery has clearly demonstrated promise for further research on the synthesis of new types of zeolites and exploration of novel reactions on zeolite catalysts. The exponential increase in research activity [68, 220] observed over the last 10 years is evidence of worldwide recognition of the potential of zeolite catalysts.
