Thermally self-sufficient process for single-step coproduction of methanol and dimethyl ether by CO₂ hydrogenation

Methanol and DME are highly efficient fuels and relevant building blocks that can be synthesized by CO₂ hydrogenation. While several alternatives for methanol production by CO₂ hydrogenation have already been developed at a commercial scale, DME production is still based on methanol dehydration. In this sense, the...
