An in situ methylation of toluene using syngas over bifunctional mixture of Cr2O3/ZnO and HZSM-5

Highlights • Cr2O3/ZnO catalyst mixed with HZSM-5 were tested for toluene methylation using syngas. • Catalytic synergy of bifunctional catalyst (Cr2O3/ZnO+HZSM-5) was evaluated. • Bifunctional catalyst exhibited much higher activity than monofunctional ones. • Catalytic synergy was manifested with...

Highlights • Cr2O3/ZnO catalyst mixed with HZSM-5 were tested for toluene methylation using syngas. • Catalytic synergy of bifunctional catalyst (Cr2O3/ZnO+HZSM-5) was evaluated. • Bifunctional catalyst exhibited much higher activity than monofunctional ones. • Catalytic synergy was manifested with (Cr2O3/ZnO)/HZSM-5 weight ratio of 1/1.
