Advances in acetalization synthesis of polyoxymethylene dimethyl ethers
Polyoxymethylene dimethyl ether compounds have high oxygen contents and cetane numbers (CN)
low condensation point and cold filtration point
are promising environmental protection diesel additive to improve diesel combustibility
enhance combustion efficiency
and reduce emission of NOx and carbon smog pollutants. In this review
latest achievement in catalyst system
reaction mechanism and synthesis kinetics of polyoxymethylene dimethyl ether by acetalization reaction was summarized. The catalyst systems included liquid acid
solid acid
and ionic liquid systems in literature. The reaction materials contained end-group (-CH3
-OCH3) provider such as methanol
methylal and dimethyl ether
which were downstream products of methanol
and chain segment (-CH2O-) provider such as 1
3
5-trioxane (TOX)
paraformaldehyde (PF) or formaldehyde (FA). Synthesis kinetic models and parameters of polyoxymethylene dimethyl ethers were reviewed briefly. The acetalization and kinetics research are moving towards the direction that benefits large scale commercial production.
