“…It is considered as a versatile green methylating reagent in addition with its fuel additive property. Though one step synthesis of DMC from CO 2 and CH 3 OH is attractive, yield is relatively low due to high thermodynamic stability and kinetically inertness of CO 2 and also it leads to the deactivation of catalyst by water formed during the process [4]. Recently, cyclo-addition of carbon dioxide to epoxides under ambient condition has been reported [5,6] and needs more emphasis on the transesterification step to utilize CO 2 directly in one pot synthesis (Scheme 1).…”

Dimethyl carbonate was synthesized via transesterification of propylene carbonate by methanol using KF/Al 2 O 3 as base catalyst. The catalyst was characterized using FT-IR, XRD, surface area measurement, alkalinity measurement and SEM analysis. The effect of KF loading on Al 2 O 3 , reaction parameters such as reaction temperature, reactant ratio and amount of catalyst on the product yield were investigated. It was found that the catalyst with 20 wt% KF loading on neutral alumina showed 70.9% propylene carbonate conversion with [98% DMC selectivity.

“…The impregnation with phosphoric acid to enhance the activity of the catalyst was already performed by Yoshida et al [104,105] over zirconium oxide, which led to an increase in activity of around 100 %. In addition, Wu et al [106] also studied the influence of temperature and pressure for a similar catalyst, CuNi/V 2 O 5 SiO 2 . Besides the kinetic study, the authors compared the performance of the catalyst prepared in different conditions.…”

This review summarizes the state-of-the-art for direct synthesis of dimethyl carbonate (DMC) from carbon dioxide and methanol. In addition, conventional and alternative processes are also discussed in order to understand the advantages and disadvantages of the direct synthesis of DMC. Furthermore, the major applications of DMC are described: solvent, fuels additive, and building block for organic synthesis. The major drawbacks of the direct synthesis of DMC are the low yield and reaction rate, mostly induced by the highly stable carbon dioxide molecules. The development of novel catalyst and strategies to enhance the DMC yield -such as dehydrating agents that remove the water from the reacting mixture -are pointed out as the key solution for this route. Therefore, the main catalysts (homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts) used so far are presented, together with the respective operating conditions and catalyst performance. The use of different dehydrating agents to increase the DMC yield is also discussed.

“…Over Cu-Ni/ZrO 2 -SiO 2 , the selectivity to DMC is over 85 % and the total carbon conversion is 8 % [48]. In the case of Cu-Ni/V 2 O 5 -SiO 2 , Wu et al [50]. proposed that the crystalinity of the catalyst showed a slight influence on the DMC synthesis, and a higher crystalinity resulted in a higher yield of DMC.…”
