In petrochemical industry , alcohols are directly converted to gasoline by passing over heated :-

A

Platinum

B

ZSM-5

C

Iron

D

Nickel

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Such a reaction is an application of shape selective catalysis. ZSM-5 is a shape selective catalyst. Zeolites are good shape selective catalysts because of the honey comb like structure. They are microporous aluminosilicates with 3-D structure. The reactions taking place in zeolites depend upon the size and shape of reactant and product molecules as well as upon pores and cavities of the zeolites.
