Catalyst Fouling during Dehydration of Tetrahydrofurfuryl Alcohol over γ-Aluminum Oxide Catalyst

Intrinsic Kinetics of Methanol Dehydration over Al2O3 Catalyst

Dehydration of methanol to dimethyl ether (DME) over a commercial Al2O3 catalyst was studied in an isothermal integral fixed bed reactor. The experiments were performed on the temperature interval 513-613 K, liquid hourly space velocity (LHSV) of 0.9-2.1h, pressures between 0.1 and 1.0 MPa. The effect of different operation conditions on the dehydration of methanol was investigated in a laborat...

DME Synthesis over MSU-S Catalyst through Methanol Dehydration Reaction

MSU-S mesoporous catalyst with [SiO2]/[Al2O3] ratio of 55 was synthesized using tetrapropylammonium hydroxide (TPAOH) as a structure directing agent and hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as a surfactant. The catalytic activity of the calcined sample was evaluated for the dehydration of methanol to dimethyl ether (DME) in a vertical fixed bed microreactor...

Mixed Alcohol Synthesis Catalyst Screening

Catalytic oxidative dehydration of glycerol over a catalyst with iron oxide domains embedded in an iron orthovanadate phase.

An embedded catalyst for the oxidative dehydration of glycerol, featuring iron oxide (FeO(x)) domains on the surface of an iron orthovanadate (FeVO₄) phase, is developed. Catalytic reactions are conducted in a fixed-bed reactor at 300 °C with a feed composition N₂/O₂/H₂O/glycerol=66.6:1.7:30.3:1.5. Catalytic results show that the catalyst exhibits a better performance than an FeO(x) catalyst pr...

dme synthesis over msu-s catalyst through methanol dehydration reaction

msu-s mesoporous catalyst with [sio2]/[al2o3] ratio of 55 was synthesized using tetrapropylammonium hydroxide (tpaoh) as a structure directing agent and hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (ctab) as a surfactant. the catalytic activity of the calcined sample was evaluated for the dehydration of methanol to dimethyl ether (dme) in a vertical fixed bed microreactor at a weight hurly space velocity...
