Abstract: The methanol to olefins (MTO) process has attracted considerable attention in modern coal chemical industry. MTO reaction kinetics and reactor models play a key role in designing highly effective commercial reactor and optimizing operation conditions of MTO units. In this paper the advance in MTO reaction kinetics research is reviewed. Mechanistic kinetic model，eight lumps model，and five lumps model are discussed. The lumping models are suitable for describing MTO process，while coking and water content have a significant influence on reaction behavior. According to kinetics models，simulations of product distribution and methanol conversion in commercial scale MTO process in fixed bed reactor，riser reactor，circulating fluidized reactor and turbulent fluidized reactor are summarized. The circulating fluidized reactor and turbulent fluidized reactor are ideal reactors for commercial MTO process. Further researches on kinetics of MTO are also proposed.
