Product Description
Synthetic Cryogenic Dimethyl Ether DME Propellant Customized
Product Description
Dimethyl Ether (DME) is produced through two primary methods: the one-step method and the two-step method. The one-step method synthesizes DME directly from raw gas, while the two-step method first produces methanol from synthesis gas before dehydrating it to create DME.
One-Step Method Production
This process converts natural gas or coal gasification into synthesis gas, which then enters a synthesis reactor. The reactor simultaneously completes methanol synthesis and methanol dehydration reactions. The resulting mixture is separated through distillation to obtain DME, with unreacted methanol recycled back into the reactor.
The one-step method typically uses a bifunctional catalyst system combining:
  • Methanol synthesis catalysts (e.g., Cu-Zn-Al(O)-based catalysts, BASF S3-85, ICI-512)
  • Methanol dehydration catalysts (e.g., alumina, porous SiO2-Al2O3, Y-type/ZSM-5 molecular sieves)
Two-Step Method Production
This method first synthesizes methanol from synthesis gas, then dehydrates it using solid catalysts (typically γ-Al2O3/SiO2 ZSM-5 molecular sieves) at 280-340°C and 0.5-0.8MPa pressure. The process achieves 70-85% methanol conversion per pass with >98% DME selectivity.
Key Comparison: The one-step method offers simpler processes, smaller equipment, and lower costs, while the two-step method produces higher purity DME (99.9%) with mature technology and simpler post-processing.
