On the basis of this model, the influences of the size and reaction conditions of a 100000 t/a DME reactor on capacity were investigated. The optimized size of the 10000 t/a DME synthesis reactor was proposed as follows: diameter 3.2 m, height 20 m, built-in 400 tube heat exchanger (Ф 38×2 mm), and inert heat carrier paraffin oil 68 t and catalyst 34.46 t. Reaction temperature and pressure were important factors influencing the reaction conversion for different size reactors. Under the condition of uniform catalyst concentration distribution, higher pressure and temperature were proposed to achieve a higher production capacity of DME. The best ratio of fresh syngas for DME synthesis was 2.04.展开更多
CuZnAl catalysts with different La loadings were prepared by a complete liquid phase method and tested for higher alcohols(C_(2+)OH) synthesis from syngas at the conditions of 250–290 ℃, 4.5 MPa, feed low rate ...CuZnAl catalysts with different La loadings were prepared by a complete liquid phase method and tested for higher alcohols(C_(2+)OH) synthesis from syngas at the conditions of 250–290 ℃, 4.5 MPa, feed low rate = 150 mL/min and H_2/CO = 2. The catalysts were characterized by XRD, H_2-TPR, NH_3-TPD, N_2 adsorption, XPS, and TEM techniques. Characterization results showed that the incorporation of La into CuZnAl catalysts resulted in the decrease of crystallite size of Cu^0 and a strong interaction among copper and zinc or aluminum oxides. Especially, the incorporation of La increased the amount of weak acid and the Cu content on catalyst surface, which was speculated to contribute the formation of higher alcohols. Among these La-promoted CuZnAl catalysts, the La0.1 catalyst exhibited the best catalytic performance and the selectivity to higher alcohols reached above 60% when the reaction temperature was 290 ℃.展开更多
