Direct synthesis of dimethyl ether (DME) from syngas was investigated in the presence of a bifunctional catalyst pair containing silicotungstic acid (STA) incorporated SBA-15 (5, 10, 25% by wt. STA) for the in-situ dehydration of synthesized methanol. The methanol synthesis component of this catalyst mixture is a Cu/ZnO-based commercial (HF) catalytic material. The new STA@SBA-15 type solid acid catalysts synthesized in this study indicated ordered mesoporous structures with surface area values in the range of 493-804 m(2)/g. They possess both strong Br & oslash;nsted and Lewis acid sites. Activity tests performed at 50 bar and 275 ?C with a molar feed ratio of CO/ H-2 being 1/1 showed the highest CO conversion and DME selectivity values in the presence of HF/25STA@SBA-15 admixed catalyst, as 41.1% and 56.6%, respectively. Activity test results showed that the incorporation of STA into SBA-15 had caused a significant increase in DME selectivity and CO conversion. TGA/DTG and XRD results of the spent catalysts showed not very high coke formation (between 2.26 and 3.13%). In order to test the effect of CO2 concentration on the product distribution, a set of sorption-enhanced reaction tests were performed by in-situ removal of carbon dioxide from the reaction medium via a Huntite adsorbent. These tests showed an increase of DME selectivity to 60.3% during the first 50 min of the reaction. Another significant result obtained in the presence of Huntite was the presence of quite a high CH4 mole fraction in the product stream during the first 50 min, which decreased to less than 1% at 200 min reaction time. These results indicated the shift of reverse dry reforming and the water gas shift reactions to the product side as a result of the removal of CO2 from the reaction zone. Hence, some positive effect of CO2 sorption was observed on DME selectivity due to the appearance of CO2 in the product side of the overall DME synthesis stoichiometry. As the reaction period increased Huntite was saturated with CO2 and the effects of its sorption on product distribution diminished.

Heteropolyacid Incorporated Bifunctional Core-Shell Catalysts for Dimethyl Ether Synthesis from Carbon Dioxide/Syngas
PEKMEZCİ KARAMAN, BİRCE; OKTAR, NURAY; Doğu, Timur (2022-10-01)
Core-shell-type catalysts, which are synthesized by encapsulating the Cu-ZnO-Alumina type methanol synthesis catalyst (CZA) by silicotungstic acid (STA)-incorporated mesoporous alumina, were prepared following a hydrothermal route and tested in DME synthesis from syngas and CO2. Activity tests, which were performed in the pressure range of 30-50 bar, and the temperature range of 200-300 degrees C, with different feed compositions (CO2/CO/H-2: 50/-/50, 40/10/50, 25/25/50, 10/40/50) showed that the best-opera...
Dimethyl ether, diethyl ether & ethylene from alcohols over tungstophosphoric acid based mesoporous catalysts
Ciftci, Aysegul; VARIŞLI, DİLEK; Tokay, Kenan Cem; Sezgi, Naime Aslı; Doğu, Timur (2012-10-01)
Tungstophosphoric acid (TPA) incorporated silicate structured new mesoporous catalysts were synthesized following one-pot hydrothermal and impregnation procedures. Surface area of TPA@MCM-41, which was prepared by impregnating TPA into MCM-41, was two orders of magnitude higher than the surface area of pure TPA and this catalyst showed very high activity in dehydration reactions of both ethanol and methanol. Ethanol fractional conversion values reaching to 1.0 was obtained at 300 degrees C at a space time o...
Dimethyl Ether Synthesis over Novel Silicotungstic Acid Incorporated Nanostructured Catalysts
Ciftci, Aysegul; VARIŞLI, DİLEK; Doğu, Timur (2010-01-01)
Dimethyl ether (DME), which is an excellent green diesel-fuel alternate with excellent clean burning properties, is synthesized by dehydration of methanol over novel solid acid catalysts, which are synthesized following a direct hydrothermal route and using silicotungstic acid (STA) as the active compound. These mesoporous silicate structured catalysts have surface area values of 108-393 m(2)/g, depending upon their W/Si ratio. These catalysts showed very high methanol dehydration activity and also very hig...
Viscoelastic properties of reactive and non-reactive styrene-maleic anhydride olefinic blends
Bayram, G; Yılmazer, Ülkü; Xanthos, M (2000-05-11)
Reactive blends of styrene-maleic anhydride (SMAH) with polyethylene/methyl acrylate/glycidyl methacrylate (PE-F) and non-reactive blends of SMAH with polyethylene/methyl acrylate (PE-NF) were produced and characterized in terms of morphology and viscoelastic properties in order to understand the reaction characteristics between anhydride/epoxy functional groups. Storage modulus, G', loss modulus, G " and complex viscosity, eta* of reactive blends at 25 % and 50 % PE-F were higher than those of non-reactive...
Polyaniline: synthesis characterization solution properties and composites
Yılmaz, Faris; Küçükyavuz, Zuhal; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2007)
Polyaniline was chemically synthesized at three different temperatures of 25, 0, and -25oC, by oxidative polymerization with ammonium peroxidisulfate at equimolar of aniline to oxidant ratio and 1M HCl. The resulted polyaniline was in a powder form which was characterized by several techniques such as: electrical conductivity, elemental analysis, thermal analysis, wide-angle X-Ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscope. The solution properties of the reduced polymer were studied by viscometry, static...
