TRANSFORMATIONS OF THE DIMETHYL ETHER ON COPPER-CONTAINING CATALYSTS
The conversion of DME to copper-containing zeolite (MFI and Mordenite structures) and silicon oxide (Cu /SiO<sub>2</sub>) catalysts is considered. The composition of DME conversion products on these copper-containing catalysts was established, and a high selectivity for the formation of C<sub>4</sub> hydrocarbons during the conversion of dimethyl ether was shown.
