Dimerization and Polymerization
A new upcoming fuel or fuel additive is dimethylether which is regarded as a clean fuel. Dimethylether can be produced by an improved thermally stable resin catalyst such as TREVERLYST CAT410. This ion exchange resin is stable up to 190°C.
Dimerization and Polymerization / Isooctane
Some years ago, MTBE was banned as a fuel additive in some countries. As a replacement isooctane or ETBE were suggested. IO is catalysed effectively through TREVERLYST CAT360 by dimerisation of isobutylene.
DME is formed through the dimerisation of methanol. The selectivity to DME can be in the range of 99%.
