Process for the preparation of phosphorous containing mesoporous alumina catalyst for selective dehydration of methanol to dimethyl ether |
摘要 |
The present invention provides an improved process for the preparation of phosphorous containing mesoporous alumina catalyst for selective dehydration of methanol to dimethyl ether. The process provides a single step selective vapor phase dehydration of methanol to produce dimethyl ether over phosphorous containing mesoporous alumina (P/Al2O3) catalyst at a temperature in the range of 150-350° C. The process provides methanol conversion of 45-100% with a selectivity of the DME up to 100%. |

1. A process for preparing a phosphorus containing mesoporous Al2O3 catalyst, wherein said process comprising the steps of:
a) preparing a first solution by i) mixing aluminum isopropoxide in ethanol to give a mixture; ii) adding phosphoric acid, nitric acid and ethanol into the mixture to form a solution; and iii) stirring the solution for a period of 9-11 hrs at 25° C. to 35° C.; b) preparing a second solution by mixing Poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(propylene glycol)-block-poly (ethylene glycol) in ethanol; c) mixing two solutions consisting of the first solution and the second solution as obtained in steps (a) and (b) and stirring for a period of 3-5 hrs at 25° C. to 35° C. to give a third solution; d) obtaining a crude phosphorus containing mesoporous Al2O3 catalyst exclusively by drying the third solution at a temperature of 60°-150° C., for a period of 3-48 hrs; and e) calcining the crude phosphorus containing mesoporous Al2O3 catalyst at a temperature of 700° C. for 2-8 hrs, to obtain the phosphorus containing mesoporous Al2O3 catalyst. |
