[ 1 ] - Two-level Full Factorial Design for Selectivity Modeling and Studying Simultaneous Effects of Temperature and Ethanol Concentration in Methanol Dehydration Reaction

Using surface analysis, simultaneous effects of temperature (260-380ºC) and ethanol concentration (0-1%) on dimethyl ether (DME) selectivity, yields of hydrocarbon and DME, and methanol conversion were investigated in methanol dehydration reaction over γ-Al2O3 catalyst. Methanol conversion and yield of hydrocarbon/DME were found to be significantly affected by temperature and the temperature-et...
