ABSTRACT

Acid-base bifucntional oxide catalyzed the direct synthesis of dimethyl carbonate (DMC) from methanol and carbon dioxide. It is found that ZrO2, H3PO4/ZrO2 and CeO2-ZrO2 solid solution are effective to the selective synthesis of dimethly carbonate. From the investigation of zirconia, it is suggested that neighboring acid and base sites are the key for DMC synthesis. The addition of H3PO4 promoted the DMC formation. This is due to the weak Brønsted acid site which is formed from the interaction between H3PO4 and ZrO2. In addition, it is recently found that the CeO2-ZrO2 solid solution is highly active at much lower temperature than ZrO2 and CeO2.
