二甲醚的应用及下游产品开发

Application of Dimethyl Ether and Development of Its Downstream Products

综述了二甲醚的性质、制备方法、应用和下游产品的开发利用。二甲醚是氯氟烃的替代品,用它可以开发一系列高附加值产品,例如碳酸二甲酯、醋酸、醋酐、甲醛等;可作为石油液化气的替代品,还可以作为清洁燃料用于机车、民用和热电厂等;同时它也可以作为氢源,开发二甲醚燃料电池。附参考文献38篇。

The properties,production methods,application and downstream products development of dimethyl ether(DME)are reviewed.DME is a preferred substitute for chlorofluorocarbons and can derive a number of products with high value such as dimethyl carbonate,acetic acid,acetic anhydride and formaldehyde.DME is also a substitute for liquefied petroleum gas and can be used as clean fuel for automobile,household,fuel cells and power plants.DME can also be used as a source of hydrogen to develope a new type of fuel cell.
