Abstract

Dimethyl ether (DME) is a promising multisource and multipurpose clean fuel and value-added chemical synthesized from syngas. This process can be either performed in a single stage (direct process) using a dual catalysis system or a two stage (indirect process) where syngas is first converted into methanol and then dehydrated to produce DME. While the dehydration reaction has been studied extensively over multiple decades, to date no review has been conducted on the catalysts involved in the methanol dehydration reaction. This work demonstrates the state of the art in catalyst preparation and analysis for this application. The dominant catalysts are studied extensively in this work, including γ-Al2O3 and various zeolites, such as ZSM-5, Y, beta and mordenite as well as their relevant modifications. Additionally, silica-alumina, mesoporous silicates, alumina phosphate, silicoaluminophosphates, heteropoly acids (HPAs), metal oxides, ion exchange resins and quasicrystals are discussed in this work, owing to the wide variety of catalysts available and studied for the purposes of methanol dehydration to DME.
