Effective utilization of natural gas is one of the longstanding problems in the synfuel and petrochemical fields. Over the past three decades, various routes, both direct and indirect, have been considered for transforming natural gas into high-quality fuels or petrochemicals1). In the present decade, methanol conversion to hydrocarbons has been the object of extensive research2), and two main processes, methanol-to-gasoline (MTG) and methanol-to-olefins (MTO), have been demonstrated commercially in respective pilot plants2),3), but the changing market situation worldwide has not provided the conditions required for commercialization, which depends on the demand and price. Apparently, commercial applications of methanol to hydrocarbon conversion still requires some further breakthrough. In fact, research continues on methanol-to-hydrocarbon processes4). Previous R&D efforts have constructed the fundamental technologies covering both catalytic materials and hydrocarbon processing, which will be beneficial for new technological development through other transformation routes. Most previous research concerning zeolite catalysts for methanol conversion has focused on production of automobile gasoline or chemicals under special conditions. The formation of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) synthesis from natural gas has attracted little attention. A new concept with respect to LPG synthesis for utilizing natural gas has been developed very recently4). The proposed LPG process has two modes: direct use of synthesis gas, which consists of in-situ two steps through intermediate methanol; and sequential conversion via methanol and/or dimethyl ether (DME), which is mainly based on methanol-to-hydrocarbon technologies. Both modes are intended to produce LPG from natural gas. LPG widely used as domestic fuel and is likely to show further growth as a clean vehicle fuel in the future. On the other hand, the potentially greater demand for LPG, previously supplied by oil refineries so far, will inevitably accelerate the consumption of limited petroleum resources. Therefore, local processing of natural gas instead of petroleum could meet the prospective market requirement. The proposed indirect process protocol combines main operating units for natural gas reforming, raw methanol or DME production, LPG hydrocarbon synSynthesis of Liquefied Petroleum Gas via Methanol and/or Dimethyl Ether from Natural Gas (Part 1) Catalysts and Reaction Behaviors Associated with Methanol and/or Dimethyl Ether Conversion
