Abstract
The kinetic of methanol (MeOH) and isobutanol (iBuOH) coupling to ethers ha s been studied. Catalytic tests were carried out in the gas phase in a fixe d-bed flow microreactor, in the temperature range of 463-533 K, under atmos pheric pressure, using gamma -Al2O3 as the catalyst. The quasi-homogeneous model for the process was assumed. The reaction rates were described by sim ple kinetics.
