The conversion of waste and residues towards high added value products has receiving a growing attention, as a reliable strategy to improve sustainability of emergent processes. Anaerobic digestion converts organic waste into biogas and digestate. While biogas may be used for energetic purpose, digestate has limited uses and with a low profitability. In this paper, dimethyl ether (DME) is adopted as target product which may be produced from digestate-derived syngas. Process simulation is carried out for both direct and indirect synthesis of DME and environmental aspects are assessed.

Synthesis Of Dimethyl Ether

A series of Pd/γ-Al2O3 catalysts with different additons of Pd were prepared by impregnation. The effect of calcination condition and Pd loading on catalytic performance of catalysts for one-step dimethyl ether synthesis has been investigated. The physic-chemical performance and structure of Pd/γ-Al2O3 catalysts were characterized by CO-TPD, TGA and nitrogen physisorption. The results show that the dispersion of Pd and the amount of adsorbration on the CO-bridge of Pd could be increased to by the moderate microwave heating on the catalysts, and the catalyst performance can be improved. But a large number of surface acidic sites of Pd/γ-Al2O3 are covered by highly fragmented Pd-grain, it causes DME selectivity reduced. And the excessive Pd can reduce the samples’ surface acid, decrease the dispersion of the metal Pd and block up the pore of γ-Al2O3. The CO conversion rate and DME space-time yield could reach 60.1% and 28.76 mmol·g-1·h-1 respectively at 2% Pd loading, at this time Pd/γ-Al2O3 has a high Pd activity surface and ideal acid sites.
