Simulation of single-step dimethyl ether synthesis from syngas

Simulation of single-step dimethyl ether synthesis from syngas

Dimethyl ether (DME) is an alternative energy that simplest ether. DME has 2 ways to synthesis from syngas. The single-step DME synthesis combined methanol synthesis and methanol dehydration in one reactor. This study is focusing on DME production from synthesis gas by used catalyst as CuO–ZnO–Al2O3...
