Abstract
Manufacturing the main petrochemical building blocks, such as ethylene, propylene, butadiene, benzene, toluene, p-xylene, and methanol, requires a solid catalyst. In this field, zeolites and supported metals stand out as the most used catalysts, with mixed oxides and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) playing a secondary role. This chapter provides a general overview of the most relevant solid catalysts applied to the different catalytic conversions dedicated to the production of petrochemical building blocks and the main milestones and challenges associated with their development.
