Abstract

The present invention provides a production method of dimethyl ether from methanol. The methanol material and catalyst containing Y-series zeolite contact and react in a reactor where the catalyst can be fluidized; the reaction materials are separated to get carbon deposit catalyst and target product dimethyl ether; part of or all of the carbon deposit catalyst enter a regenerator to be burnt and regenerated. The regenerated catalyst returns into the reactor to contact the methanol material. The method can effectively control the reaction temperature of bed layers, ensures the continuous transformation of methanol into dimethyl ether; the conversion rate of methanol is generally more than 80 per cent; the selectivity of dimethyl ether is more than 98 percent.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for producing dimethyl ether from methanol, more specifically, the invention belongs to a method for producing dimethyl ether by gas-phase dehydration of methanol in a reactor in which the catalyst can be fluidized / moved / flowed. Background technique [0002] There are one-step and two-step methods for the production of dimethyl ether (DME). The one-step method refers to the one-time synthesis of dimethyl ether from the raw material gas; the two-step method is to synthesize methanol from the synthesis gas, and then dehydrate to obtain dimethyl ether. [0003] The two-step method is carried out in two steps, that is, methanol is first synthesized from synthesis gas, and methanol is dehydrated under acid catalysis to produce dimethyl ether. The two-step synthesis of dimethyl ether is the main process for the production of dimethyl ether at home and abroad. This method uses refined methanol as a raw material, with few by-...
