Abstract

Catalytic partial oxidation (PO) of dimethoxymethane (DMM) to syngas was investigated in a fixed-bed continuous flow reactor under ambient pressure and at 250–500 °C over Pt-, Rh- and Ru-supported on Ce0.75Zr0.25O2–δ catalysts. The Pt catalyst was found to be the most active and selective. It provided complete conversion of DMM to gas mixture containing ˃ 60 vol% of H2 and CO at 400 °C, GHSV = 10,000 h−1 using a reaction mixture: DMM:O2:N2 = 28.6:14.3:57.1 (vol%).
