Abstract
+ and coke formation. It is also demonstrated that zeolite-metal interaction, leading to a mixture of both acidic and basic sites, is significant in increasing light olefin production. The mordenite-supported 20 wt % Fe, 0.5 wt % Cu, and 0.5 wt % Ho catalyst provides the highest light olefin yield with the lowest coke and heavier hydrocarbon selectivity.
