It is well recognized that the side reaction of methanol to olefin is challenging to suppress in benzene methylation, which leads to the production of the undesired ethylbenzene and coke. In this study, the effect of transition metals (Co, Mn and Ti) on the fibrous silica ZSM-5 zeolite (HFZ) for ben...
