Two practical equations for methanol dehydration reaction over HZSM-5 catalyst - Part I: Second order rate equation

In present contribution, a suitable rate of reaction for pure methanol with no water as feed over commercial catalyst of HZSM-5 at industrial conditions in methanol dehydration process is found. This second order rate of reaction shows good agreement with experimental data with R2 of more than 90%. Modeling results are also revealed that the proposed rate of reaction predicts the behavior of process, properly and therefore, this rate equation is reliable and accurate for simulation.
