Abstract

The kinetic of methanol (MeOH) and isobutanol (iBuOH) coupling to ethers has been studied. Catalytic tests were carried out in the gas phase in a fixed-bed flow microreactor, in the temperature range of 463-533 K, under atmospheric pressure, using γ-Al2O3 as the catalyst. The quasi-homogeneous model for the process was assumed. The reaction rates were described by simple kinetics.
