Abstract. The mesoporosity development in high silica HZSM-5 was carried out by alkaline desilication treatment and soft template method, and its relationship with the catalytic performance of the modified catalysts in methanol-to-propylene reaction was studied. High propylene selectivity (42.2%) and propylene/ethylene ratio (10.1) were observed on the high silica HZSM-5 catalyst modified b…
