Background

CH3OCH3+CO CH3COOCH3

Catalyst：

CH3OCH3+CO CH3COOCH3400-500K ， 1.5MPa

H-MOR

-Mild reaction condition-Non-noble metal catalyst ， selectivity ＞ 99%-Highly atom-economic-Less by-product

Mechanism Study

DME pulsing studies：DME and water were detected in the effluent during subsequent He treatment

DME–CO mixtures

Pure CO DME–CO mixtures

DME:CO=1:46.5

Technology Condition

CO/H2/DME=72/18/10

CO/H2/DME=76/19/5

Catalyst

Undetectable on H-USY (Si/Al=3:1), H-

BEA (Si/Al=12.5:1), and amorphous

SiO2–Al2O3 (Si/Al=3:1)

inside the 8MR

outside the 8MRmore accessible to 12MRchannel

Distribution of H+ Sites in MOR

~3610cm : H+ in 12-MR channels~3590cm : H+ in 8-MR channels

Propane : absorbed on sites located only within 8-MR channels n-Hexane : absorbed on sites located only within 12-MR channels

Distribution of H+ Sites in Cation-Exchanged MOR Samples

Na + exchange occurred selectively by replacement of H+ within 8-MR side pockets

Co2+ replaced H+ with similar probability in 8-MR and 12-MR channels
