文摘The recent studies of direct alcohol/ether synthesis process in slurry reactors were reviewed,and the research work in our laboratory was carried out in this paper.a global kinetics model for direct dimethyl ether(DME)synthesis from syngas over a novel Cu-Zn-Al-Zr slurry catalyst was established according to the total of 25 experimental data,and a steady-state one-dimensional mathematical model was further developed in bubble column slurry reactor(BCSR),which was assumed that the bubble phase was plug flow,and the liquid phase was fully mixed flow.The numerical simulations of reactor design of 100000 t/a dimethyl ether pilot plant indicate that higher pressure and lower temperature were favorable to the increase of CO conversion,selectivity of dimethyl ether,product yield and height of slurry bed.The optimal operating conditions for DME synthesis process were obtained:reaction temperature at 240℃,reactor pressure at 5 MPa and reactor diameter of 2.5 m.
