Abstract: The dimethyl ether (DME) selectivity over Cu-ZnO-Al2O3/HMCM-22 bifunction al catalyst for the synthesis of DME from syngas was enhanced with the increase of SiO2/Al2O3 ratios in HMCM-22 zeolite. The bifunction al c atalyst containing high silica content in HMCM-22 zeolite exhibited high activi ty, selectivity, and stability.

Key words: copper, zinc oxide, alumina, HMCM-22 zeolite, bifunctional catalyst, syngas, dimethyl ether
