The increase in shale gas supply stimulates the exploration of different conversion paths from natural gas to fuels and chemicals. Methanol is a natural gas derivative with a strategic role in the production of fuels and chemicals. A promising industrial option is the conversion of methanol feedstock into propylene under affordable and economical reaction conditions. Although the methanol-to-hydrocarbon (MTH) reaction is a known technology for a few decades, key details related to catalyst development and overall experimental design must be fully explored. Therefore, the paper tailors recent updates on the progress made, especially on the key identified and prospective catalysts such as zeolites (i.e., silicoaluminates) and silicoaluminophosphates (SAPOs). This mini review also discusses the role of catalyst textural and acidity properties, reaction conditions, and associated reaction mechanisms.

硅铝反应和硅铝磷酸盐在甲醇制丙烯反应中的最新进展：综述

页岩气供应的增加刺激了从天然气到燃料和化学物质的不同转化途径的探索。甲醇是天然气衍生物，在燃料和化学产品的生产中具有战略性作用。一种有希望的工业选择是在负担得起且经济的反应条件下将甲醇原料转化为丙烯。尽管甲醇制烃（MTH）反应是几十年来的一项已知技术，但必须充分探索与催化剂开发和整体实验设计有关的关键细节。因此，本文根据最新进展对最新进展进行了调整，特别是对已确定和潜在的关键催化剂，如沸石（即硅铝酸盐）和硅铝磷酸盐（SAPOs）进行了更新。本迷你评论还讨论了催化剂质地和酸度性质的作用，
