Abstract

Copper-containing zeolites are potential catalysts for the oxidative carbonylation of methanol to DMC [1,2] but have a minor activity without chloride. The catalyst used for this study was a chloride-free system which combines high performance with the attractiveness of a process that abandons any halogens during catalyst preparation and process operation [3]. In all those zeolite catalyst systems the question of the distribution of the copper particulary at high loading is crucial.
