Abstract
A new approach for production of potential diesel substitutes oxymethylene ethers via continuous gas-phase synthesis from methanol and formaldehyde over zeolite catalysts.
Highlights
As transportation is one of the main sectors contributing to global greenhouse gas emission,[1] many efforts in politics as well as research are directed towards solutions for a more sustainable mobility
Methyl formate (MeFo) formed via condensation-disproportionation of two formaldehyde molecules and dimethyl ether (DME) from methanol condensation were identified as by-products
A broad range of zeolites were tested in the gasphase synthesis of oxymethylene ethers (OME) from methanol and formaldehyde
Summary
As transportation is one of the main sectors contributing to global greenhouse gas emission,[1] many efforts in politics as well as research are directed towards solutions for a more sustainable mobility. Synthetic fuels on the basis of CO2 and H2 are considered promising for reducing the overall life-cycle CO2 emissions of transportation via CO2 consumption during fuel production.[2] In addition, such fuels allow shifting from fossil carbon to renewable feedstocks. In order to design a sustainable process, the source of H2 is important. Considering such a scenario, H2 is preferably supplied from water electrolysis using electricity generated from sunlight and/or wind energy
