Modified natural kaolin clay as an active, selective, and stable catalyst for methanol dehydration to dimethyl ether

Abstract In this work, the production of dimethyl ether (DME) from methanol over natural kaolin clay modified through impregnation with various percentages of H2SO4, WO3, or ZrO2 catalysts was investigated. The prepared catalysts were characterized via X-ray fluorescence, X-ray diffraction, Fourier...
