Theoretical Study of the Mechanism of Surface Methoxy and Dimethyl Ether Formation from Methanol Catalyzed by Zeolitic Protons

Blaszkowski, Solange R., van Santen, Rutger A.·1997·The Journal of Physical Chemistry B

Abstract

Density functional theory is used to study the zeolite acid catalyzed methanol dehydration to dimethyl ether. Three different reaction pathways are proposed. In the first, methanol adsorption and surface methoxy species formation are the initial elementary steps for this reaction. Subsequent dimethyl ether formation by reaction of a new methanol molecule with the surface methoxy species takes place. The second path involves the simultaneous adsorption and activation of two methanol molecules with formation of dimethyl ether and water in one step. The third path involves also the simultaneous adsorption and activation of two methanol molecules. The difference is that, like in the first path, initially a methoxy surface species will be formed from dehydration of one of the methanol molecules, and this will be followed by dimethyl ether formation. The second path appears to be the preferred route for dimethyl ether formation, since its activation barrier is lower than the other two paths. The effect of making the zeolitic cluster slightly more acidic (by lengthening the Si−H bond distances) over the activation barriers of dimethyl ether formation has been studied. Changes on the order of 5 kJ/mol are observed. An analysis of the reaction rate constants for the three reaction paths of methanol dehydration is also presented.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
