Synthesis and Evaluation of a Nano-Catalyst for Dehydration of Methanol to Dimethyl Ether, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Kazemeini, Mohammad (Supervisor) ; Aghaziarati, Mahmoud (Supervisor)
Abstract
Dimethyl ether (DME) as a clean fuel is a suitable alternative for diesel fuel. It has a high cetane number and does not contain any sulfur or metal compounds. Furthermore, DME does not form any soot and has a potential to reduce NOx emissions. In addition, it is not corrosive to any metal and not harmful to the human body. Two approaches are currently used for the production of DME from synthesis gas. The first is an indirect two-step process involving methanol synthesis followed by catalytic dehydration of methanol to DME over solid-acid catalysts, while the second method enables direct synthesis of DME using a bifunctional catalyst. At present, indirect synthesis of DME is a more...
