Abstract

This chapter presents infrared (IR) study on the reaction path of methanol decomposition over basic zeolites. Based on an infrared study of the adsorption and reaction of methanol and dimethyl ether over alkali metal cation exchanged zeolites, a reaction mechanism is proposed for the decomposition of methanol over alkali cation exchanged zeolites.Formaldehyde adsorption is performed on these molecular sieves and attempts are made to correlate its adsorption structure with the surface reactivity.
