Abstract

Global kinetic models are firstly developed for liquid phase dimethyl ether synthesis from syngas (LPDME), which is successfully based on reasonable assumptions and simplifications. The activation energies of methanol synthesis reaction and methanol dehydration reaction are 14.06 kJ/mol and 23.53 kJ/mol, respectively. CO and CO2 are strongly adsorbed on methanol catalyst of C301, and methanol and water are on gamma-alumina. The relative errors of experimental data and the calculated ones for methanol equivalent productivity and DME productivity are mostly within 10% and 20%. The model also gives a satisfactory explanation for experimental phenomena.
