Abstract: The research status and application progress of the use of zeolite as catalysts in ethanol dehydration to ethylene (ETO) is reviewed. Catalytic performance and demerit in ETO of different types of zeolite catalysts are compared. The application prospect and problems to be resolved are discussed. ZSM-5 is a potential catalyst in ETO.
