Kinetic Modelling for the Dehydration of Methanol to Dimethyl Ether over ?-Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>

A kinetic model has been established for the dehydration of methanol to dimethyl ether over ??-Al2O3 acid function, the most widely used catalyst. The kinetic model considers the reaction of methanol dehydration to be elementary. The effect of water in the reaction medium (due to the high adsorption...
