thermodynamic restrictions and simultaneous effects of operational conditions on the homogeneous rhodium-catalyzed carbonylation of methanol are studied in this line of research. it is shown that the general nrtl-virial model can be appropriated to study thermodynamics of the carbonylation. it is obtained that the reaction is kinetically and thermodynamically reasonable at temperatures above 42...

the aim of this paper is to study the kinetic study carbonylation of methanol using of the homogeneous rhodium catalyst and ch3i as the promoter in acid media based on monsanto process. the reaction was carried out in liquid media in the constant pressures 20,28 and 40 atm. and temperatures 170 to185oc, espect to the  initial  reactant concentrations and co pressure.  it was identified that the...

Methyl formate is a key component for both defossilized industry and mobility. The current industrial production via carbonylation of methanol has various disadvantages such as high requirements on reactant purity low conversion rates. In addition, there great interest in replacing the conventional homogeneous catalyst with heterogeneous one, among other things to improve downstream processing....

Thermodynamic restrictions and simultaneous effects of operational conditions on the homogeneous rhodium-catalyzed carbonylation of methanol are studied in this line of research. It is shown that the general NRTL-Virial model can be appropriated to study thermodynamics of the carbonylation. It is obtained that the reaction is kinetically and thermodynamically reasonable at temperatures abov...

This letter reports an experimental study which achieves reproducible oscillations in both pH and heat output (Qr) during a palladium-catalysed phenylacetylene oxidative carbonylation reaction in an homogeneous catalytic system (PdI2-KI-Air-NaOAc in methanol solution). Experiments were performed in an HEL SIMULAR reaction calorimeter with precise control of temperature and gas flow rates. Under...

Palladium complexes immobilized onto generation 0-3 PAMAM dendrimers supported on silica were used as catalysts for the carbonylation of iodobenzene in methanol to form methyl benzoate. High yields were obtained and the catalyst was recycled 4-5 times without significant loss of activity. The carbonylation reaction was found to be applicable to a variety of iodoarenes regardless of the nature o...

The reactions of water with a number of iridium(III) complexes relevant to the mechanism for catalytic methanol carbonylation are reported. The iridium acetyl, [Ir(CO)2I3(COMe)](-), reacts with water under mild conditions to release CO2 and CH4, rather than the expected acetic acid. Isotopic labeling and kinetic experiments are consistent with a mechanism involving nucleophilic attack by water ...

CuCl has been successfully immobilized on a novel diamide modified SBA-15, and proven to be an efficient heterogenized catalyst for the oxidative carbonylation of methanol to dimethylcarbonate.
