The synthesis of dimethyl ether via methanol dehydration has been carried out over untreated-diatomite catalyst (DM) and hydrochloric acid modified treatment on diatomite catalyst (DMHC). The reactions were carried out in a fixed-bed reactor. The effects of hydrochloric acid modifications of diatomite on its catalytic performance were studied. The characterization such as XRD, SEM, FT-IR and FT-Raman had no deformation after HCl-modified treatment on catalysts. DMHC catalyst apparently gave the higher methanol conversion rate than DM due to the acidity while the selectivity of dimethyl ether from 250 to 350°C was slightly changed. The acidity was depended upon Al(IV) ions; nevertheless, both Al(V) and Al(VI) were affected and hence increasing the basic active sites. Not only was the competitively catalytic methanol dehydrogenation preferred with basic condition but also methanol-blocking water molecule interaction was the unwanted reaction. In this investigation, the chemical-bond arrangements of silicon and aluminium ions were proposed with solid MAS/NMR. The DMHC catalyst exhibited better DME yield than the DM catalyst, and it could be used as a selective catalyst for DME synthesis from methanol.

Abstract A simple co-precipitation method was utilized to synthesize γ-Al2O3 catalysts using aluminum nitrate nonahydrate as the source of aluminum cations for methanol dehydration to dimethyl ether (DME). Different precipitating agents comprising ammonium carbonate, ammonium bicarbonate and ammonia solutions were used for preparation of the samples. The catalysts were characterized by XRD, FTIR, SEM, NH3-TPD and N2 adsorption-desorption techniques. The sample prepared by ammonia solution had the highest acidity among the synthesized catalysts. Also, N2 adsorption-desorption results showed suitable textural properties for all of the synthesized samples. Vapor phase dehydration of methanol to DME was performed in the fixed bed micro reactor over the synthesized catalysts and commercial one for comparison purposes. The effects of different characteristics of catalysts such as surface area, acidity, sintering factor and temperature as an operating parameter on performance of catalysts were investigated. The catalyst prepared by ammonia solution showed best catalytic activity due to the suitable textural properties and high amount of acidic sites. Also, the results showed that only high acid strength can’t result high yield of DME for a solid acid catalyst.
