摘要
Acidic gamma-Al2O3 is an active catalyst for the dehydration of methanol to dimethyl ether (DME). However, the produced steam reduces the activity. In this work, the influence of the exposure of gamma-Al2O3 to steam on the catalytic activity for methanol dehydration has been determined. At 250 degrees C and increasing stream partial pressure the conversion of gamma-Al2O3 into gamma-AlO(OH) is observed at a p(H2O) of 13-14 bar. As a consequence, the catalytic activity decreases, reducing the rate of methanol dehydration to around 25%. However, this conversion is reversible and under reaction conditions gamma-AlO(OH) converts back to gamma-Al2O3, recovering its catalytic activity.
