Oxymethylene dimethyl ethers (OMEn) are attracting a lot of research interest but application in chemical industry is not yet practical due to a number of challenges. In this work, OMEn production is reported from methanol mediated heterogeneous catalytic COx hydrogenation over Ru catalysts. Highest yield was achieved over 3%Ru/BEA at 150 °C, 75 barg and H2/CO2 molar ratio of 3. Molecular sieve water adsorbent was used during CO2 hydrogenation to remove water, which increased the selectivity towards OMEn. An investigation of reaction mechanism showed the dominancy of formaldehyde intermediate route over methyl formate route for 3%Ru/BEA catalyst. In present study, CO2 hydrogenation provided the maximum OME1 and OME2 yields of 7.42 and 2.13 mmol/gcat.LMeOH, respectively at the above conditions.

Ru / BEA催化剂上甲醇介导的CO x加氢合成甲醛二甲基醚(OME n)
甲醛二甲基醚(OME n)吸引了许多研究兴趣,但是由于许多挑战,在化学工业中的应用尚不实用。在这项工作中,报道了在Ru催化剂上甲醇介导的非均相催化CO x加氢导致OME n的产生。最高产率在150℃,在3%的Ru / BEA实现,75巴表压和H 2 / CO 2摩尔比的3 CO期间使用分子筛水分吸附剂2氢化以除去水,其朝向OME增加的选择性Ñ。对反应机理的研究表明,对于3%Ru / BEA催化剂,甲醛中间途径比甲酸甲酯途径占优势。在本研究中,CO 2加氢提供的最大OME 1和OME 2个产量的7.42和2.13毫摩尔/克猫.L MeOH中,分别在上述条件。
