Tags: Methyl carboxylate esters have been shown to be potent promoters of low-temperature methanol dehydration to dimethyl ether (DME) using various zeolite catalysts. In the present work, catalytic kinetic studies, in-situ Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) techniques were used to elucidate the promotional mechanism of methyl carboxylate esters on methanol dehydration to DME, using the medium pore zeolite H-ZSM-5 (MFI) as the catalyst. Kinetic studies were performed using the very potent methyl n-hexanoate promoter. The DME yield was dependent on both the methanol and methyl n-hexanoate partial pressures across the temperature ranges used in this study (110 to 130 C). This is consistent with the promoted reaction being a bimolecular reaction between methanol and ester species adsorbed at the catalyst active sites, via an SN2 type reaction, as previously postulated. The in-situ FT-IR studies reveal that the Brønsted acid (BA) sites on H-ZSM-5 were very rapidly titrated by ester carbonyl group adsorption and bonded more strongly with esters than with methanol. Upon methanol addition, an even lower DME formation temperature (30 C) was observed with methyl n-hexanoate pretreated H-ZSM-5 samples in the in-situ NMR studies, further confirming the strong promotion of this methyl ester on methanol dehydration to DME. The adsorption and reactivity of different methyl esters on H-ZSM-5 indicates that while methyl formate more easily dissociates into a surface methoxy species, [Si(OMe)Al], and carboxylic acid, it is a less potent promoter than alkyl-chain-containing methyl esters in methanol dehydration to DME, which in turn did not show this dissociative behavior in the low-temperature NMR studies. This indicates that methyl alkyl carboxylates do not need to be dissociated to a surface methoxy species to promote the methanol dehydration reaction and that a bimolecular associative mechanism plays an important role in promoting DME formation., methanol dehydration to DME; promotion; methyl n-hexanoate; ZSM-5; kinetic; solid-state NMR; FT-IR
