ABSTRACT
The non-petroleum synthesis route of ethanol from syngas (H2 +CO) with methyl acetate (MA) as the core intermediate product has been confirmed as an excellent industrialization route for high purity ethanol production. However, as the central part of this tandem-catalysis path, the carbonylation of dimethyl ether (DME) to MA is limited by the undesirable catalytic activity and stability of zeolite catalysts. Herein, a facile inhibitor-assisted strategy was developed for constructing self-assembled nano-Mordenite (nano-MOR) zeolites without using any expensive or complex template. A nano-filamentous MOR zeolite with only 70â
nm crystal diameter was successfully synthesized by selectively controlling the crystal growth orientation with a specific inhibitor. The catalytic performance of self-assembled nano-MOR catalysts was remarkably outstanding in DME carbonylation reaction. The highest Space-Time Yield (STY) of MA was achieved over Nanofilament MOR (NF-MOR), which was significantly improved comparing with that of the traditional Ellipsoid-MOR (ES-MOR) [3780â
mmol/(kg â
h) vs. 1368â
mmol/(kg â
h)]. One-step ethanol synthesis was realized by combining the MOR catalyst and an innovative self-reduced Cu-ZnO/SiO2 (CZ/SiO2 ) catalyst in a rationally designed dual-bed catalysis system. Adopting the tailor-made NF-MOR&CZ/SiO2 combination, it obtained the highest STY of ethanol, about 4 times of the conventional ES-MOR&CZ combination [1800â
mmol/(kg â
h) vs. 476â
mmol/(kg â
h)]. The present self-assembled nano-MOR zeolites synthetic strategy opens a new way for the fabrication of high-performance zeolites for practical industrial applications in catalytic conversions of one-carbon (C1) small molecules to high value-added chemicals.
