Mechanism of chain propagation for the synthesis of polyoxymethylene dimethyl ethers

Chemical Equilibrium of the Synthesis of Poly(oxymethylene) Dimethyl Ethers from Formaldehyde and Methanol in Aqueous Solutions

“…2 There is large number of articles (e.g. [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] ) and patents from China concerning OME, as China is the largest coal producer in the world and is seeking for an option to produce liquid fuels from coal. Synthesis gas may however also be produced from renewable feedstocks.…”

Poly(oxymethylene) dimethyl ether synthesis – a combined chemical equilibrium investigation towards an increasingly efficient and potentially sustainable synthetic route

“…Gas-to-Liquid, coal gasification, etc.). [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27] Using MeOH and FA directly in OME synthesis could potentially provide a more efficient route to OME, as the energy intensive synthesis of TRI, p-FA or OME1 could be avoided. In this context, previous reports by Zhang et al demonstrate OME synthesis based on MeOH and FA over a Zr-modified γ-Alumina catalyst in a fixed bed reactor, with the authors describing the kinetics of this system.…”

Experimental investigation into the oxidation reactivity and nanostructure of particulate matter from diesel engine fuelled with diesel/polyoxymethylene dimethyl ethers blends

“…As a new type of oxygenated fuel, polyoxymethylene dimethyl ethers (abbreviated to PODE n ) can effectively reduce emissions of diesel PM as PODE n have no C-C bonds in their molecular structure, have a huge carbon/hydrogen ratio and a high oxygen content with a large cetane number6789. PODE n can be synthesized by polymerization reaction using methanol as a raw material10.…”
