Synthesize polymethoxydimethyl ether using methanol, formaldehyde, or paraformaldehyde
Thread Content
I am currently working on a research project focused on the preparation of polymethoxymethane for use as a diesel additive. The raw materials come from methanol-derived products such as formaldehyde and polyformaldehyde. I would appreciate any advice from experts, or any exchanges of information from those with relevant experience
Polyoxymethylene dimethyl ether is currently considered the most promising diesel additive, featuring a high cetane number and high oxygen content; when blended into diesel, it can improve combustion efficiency. To reduce pollutant emissions, the most important advantage is that there is no need to modify the engine.
It’s a very difficult task; conducting an analysis and inspection is truly a huge challenge
Reply to 1# p5616: Don’t expect to get those materials; the research work is generally treated as highly confidential information. The Chinese Academy of Sciences and East China University of Science and Technology are both working on it.
Well, I’ve been working on it for almost a year now; progress has been slow and the analysis isn’t working well
Hehe, it was really painful; I faced a lot of difficulties working on that project. Thankfully, I’ve graduated now
What are the main issues with the analysis?
Is Lanhua Institute working on it, and has it received **financial support?
Is there any breakthrough now? 12771843@qq.com for further discussion
Our company has already produced qualified products, using an experimental facility with an annual production capacity of 10,000 tons.
