Selective catalytic synthesis of short chain oxymethylene ethers by a heteropoly acid – a reaction parameter and kinetic study
Daniel Huth, Marcus Rose
Abstract
Oxymethylene ethers (OME) are considered as a low-emission additive or replacement to diesel fuel. They can by efficiently produced in a catalytic process using heteropoly acids as catalyst.
