Preferential synthesis of ethanol from syngas via dimethyl oxalate hydrogenation over an integrated catalyst. Issue 39 (17th April 2019) - Shang, Xin
Abstract : A novel, simple and efficient integrated catalyst exhibits an extremely high selectivity of 98% to ethanol in gas-phase hydrogenation of dimethyl oxalate. Abstract : An integrated catalyst that contains Fe5 C2 and CuZnO–SiO2 with a dual-bed configuration was designed for the preferential synthesis of ethanol via dimethyl oxalate hydrogenation. The cooperation of the two catalyst components remarkably inhibited the formation of various byproducts, resulting in a significantly high ethanol yield of about 98%.
