Catalytic obtainment of dimethyl ether and dimethoxy-methane from methanol

The paper deals with obtainment methods of formaldehyde and alternative ecological fuel types – dimethyl ether and dimethoxymethane. The development studies of these products were carried out both on Zr-Mo, Zr-V, V-Fe bimetallic catalysts and modified Со2+, Сu2+ forms of clinoptilolit. The optimum conditions of reaction conducting have been studied, RFA and RFES specters of the catalysts took, and the connection between the composition of surface layer and catalysts’ activity and selectivity specified as well.
