The production of dimethyl ether from renewables or waste is a promising strategy to push towards a sustainable energy transition of alternative eco-friendly diesel fuel. In this work, we simulate the synthesis of dimethyl ether from a syngas (a mixture of CO, CO2 and H2) produced from gasification of digestate. In particular, a thermodynamic analysis was performed to individuate the best process conditions and syngas conditioning processes to maximize yield to dimethyl etehr (DME). Process simulation was carried out by ChemCAD software, and it was particularly focused on the effect of process conditions of both water gas shift and CO2 absorption by Selexol® on the syngas composition, with a direct influence on DME productivity. The final best flowsheet and the best process conditions were evaluated in terms of CO2 equivalent emissions. Results show direct DME synthesis global yield was higher without the WGS section and with a carbon capture equal to 85%. The final environmental impact was found equal to −113 kgCO2/GJ, demonstrating that DME synthesis from digestate may be considered as a suitable strategy for carbon dioxide recycling.

Dimethyl ether (DME) can be used as a replacement for diesel fuel in transportation. The catalytic effectiveness of bifunctional catalysts for DME one-stage synthesis from carbon monoxide and hydrogen was estimated in the paper. Bifunctional catalysts CuZnAl/HZSM-5, CuZnAlCr/HZSM-5, and CuZnAlZr/HZSM-5 were obtained by physical mixing of CuZnAl(Cr/Zr)– Ох and HZSM-5 components and were characterized by BET, X-ray diffraction, and temperatureprogrammed surface reaction methods. Based on the TPSR results, the mechanism of the interaction of methanol and DME with the surface of the bifunctional catalyst was studied. It was found that the temperature range of the greatest catalytic activity was 240–260 °С.
