Abstract:Dimethyl ether (DME) is an environmentally friendly fuel and economical compound that can be synthesized through methanol (MeOH) dehydration or direct synthesis from syngas via the water-gas shift reaction. Catalysts such as CZA for syngas conversion to MeOH and zeolites or γ-Al2O3 for MeOH dehydration are necessary for these reactions. A hybrid catalyst, CZA/FER, can be used to directly convert syngas into DME via MeOH. While previous studies have developed kinetic models for these catalytic reaction systems … Show more
