Maximization of dimethyl ether production from synthesis gas by obtaining optimum temperature profile and water removal

Modeling and Optimization of Mass and Heat Flux Profiles in a Multifunctional Reactor for CO2 and H2 Valorization to Dimethyl Ether

“…Due to several limitations encountered in the DME direct synthesis, process optimization must be taken into account increasingly for the design of new configurations. Various optimization works have been reported in the literature. − Briefly, whether for direct or indirect DME synthesis, different configurations have been proposed, namely, fixed bed reactor, thermally coupled, and dual type reactor, two-stage spherical packed-bed reactor, temperature gradient reactor, slurry reactor, fluidized bed reactor, multifunctional auto-thermal reactor, and multifunctional reactor assisted by regenerative adsorbents. − Several parameters have been optimized during these works: feed ratios, process inlet temperature, temperature profile, and so forth. Based on these studies on conventional or novel configurations, the development of new optimal configurations for the DME direct synthesis, more specifically from CO 2 , is required.…”

Ethanol as a Binder to Fabricate a Highly‐Efficient Capsule‐Structured CuO−ZnO−Al2O3@HZSM‐5 Catalyst for Direct Production of Dimethyl Ether from Syngas

“…[27][28][29]39,40] Especially, HZSM-5 has been considered as an excellent candidate for methanol dehydration. [31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38] In addition, reaction conditions, [41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48] catalyst regeneration [49] and interaction between different functional components [50] have also been investigated. However, some deficiencies still exist in STD process over the hybrid catalyst.…”
