Abstract

In order to improve the reactivity for the direct synthesis of dimethyl carbonate (DMC) using methanol and carbon dioxide, the various additives were used in the DMC synthesis using $Ce_{0.8}Zr_{0.2}O_2$ catalyst, and then effect of the additives was investigated. The various additives were molecular sieves 3A and the compounds having the various functional groups such as sulfate, carbonate, nitrate and phosphate. As a result, the compound such as $K_2SO_4$ and $Na_2SO_4$ having sulfate group were the most effective additive among the various additives. When $K_2SO_4$ was used as an additive in the direct synthesis of DMC, the amount of DMC was about 0.91 mmol, which was the highest mount of DMC among using only-$Ce_{0.8}Zr_{0.2}O_2$ catalyst and the various additives.

본 연구에서는 메탄올과 이산화탄소를 이용한 디메틸카보네이트(dimethyl carbonate, 이하 DMC) 의 직접 합성에서 수율 증대를 위하여 주입된 다양한 첨가제의 영향을 살펴보았다. 그리고 첨가제의 주입과 동시에 반응조건을 달리하여 얻어진 반응특성을 살펴봄으로써 필요한 반응조건의 최적화를 살펴보았다. Citric complexation method에 의해 제조된 복합금속산화물 $Ce_{1-x}Zr_xO_2$ 촉매들 가운데, 가장 높은 성능을 지니고 있는 $Ce_{0.8}Zr_{0.2}O_2$ 촉매가 DMC 합성에서 사용되었다. 황산염(sulfate) 계열, 질산염(nitrate) 계열, 인산염(phosphate) 계열 및 제올라이트 등의 다양한 첨가제가 사용된 가운데 DMC 생성량의 변화가 관찰되었다. 그 결과, $-SO_4$를 지니는 황산염 계열의 $K_2SO_4$ 및 $Na_2SO_4$ 등의 첨가제가 $Ce_{0.8}Zr_{0.2}O_2$ 촉매와 함께 사용됨으로써 가장 높은 DMC 생성량을 얻었다. 기존의 첨가제 없이 $Ce_{0.8}Zr_{0.2}O_2$ 촉매가 사용된 경우, 약 0.6 mmol의 DMC 생성량을 얻을 수 있었으며, $K_2SO_4$ 첨가제가 동시에 주입된 경우 가장 높은 0.91 mmol의 향상된 DMC 생성량을 얻었다.
