Experimental Investigations of Dimethyl Ether Production from Syngas in a Slurry Reactor.

ABSTRACT: The conversion of syngas, which consists of carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen (H₂), into value-added products and chemicals has gained significant attention due to its potential to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and provide alternative energy sources. Dimethyl Ether (DME) is one such promising clean-burning fuel that can be synthesized from CO and H₂ using various catalytic processes. While fixed-bed reactor configurations are widely pursued, slurry reactors have been comparatively less explored. This work focuses on the experimental optimization of direct DME production and separation from syngas by using a slurry reactor equipped with a gas-entrainment impeller. It employs a thermochemical route and a bifunctional catalyst (Cu/Zn/Al + γ-Al₂O₃
