Abstract
Methyl mercaptan is a typical volatile organosulfur pollutant contained in many gases emitted by urban waste treatment, various industries, natural gas handling, refining processes, and energy production. This work is a comprehensive overview of the scientific and practical aspects related to the management of methyl mercaptan pollution. The main techniques, including absorption, adsorption, oxidation, and biological treatments, are examined in detail. For each method, its capability as well as the technical advantages and drawbacks have been highlighted. The emerging methods developed for the removal of methyl mercaptan from natural gas are also reviewed. These methods are based on the catalytic conversion of CH3SH to hydrocarbons and H2S.

Abstract
Identifying zeolite catalysts that can simultaneously optimize p-xylene selectivity and feed utilization is critical to toluene alkylation with methanol (TAM). Here, we show that zeolite MCM-22 (MWW) has an exceptional catalyst lifetime in the TAM reaction at high operating pressure, conversion, and selectivity. We systematically probe the catalytic behavior of active sites in distinct topological features of MCM-22, revealing that high p-xylene yield and catalyst stability are predominantly attributed to sinusoidal channels and supercages, respectively. Using a combination of catalyst design and testing, density functional theory, and molecular dynamics simulations, we propose a spatiotemporal coke coupling phenomenon to explain a multistage p-xylene selectivity profile wherein the formation of light coke in supercages initiates the deactivation of unselective external surface sites. Our findings indicate that the specific nature of coke is critical to catalyst performance. Moreover, they provide unprecedented insight into the synchronous roles of distinct topological features giving rise to the exceptional stability and selectivity of MCM-22 in the TAM reaction.

Abstract
A large fraction of the global natural gas reserves is in the form of sour gas, i.e. contains hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and carbon dioxide (CO2), and needs to be sweetened before utilization.
