Direct Single-Stage Conversion of Synthesis Gas to Dimethoxymethane: Influence of the Sequence of Metal Introduction into Cu, Pd-Zeolite Catalysts on the Degree of Cu and Pd Reduction and Catalyst Acidity

The influence of the sequence of Cu and Pd introduction into zeolite matrice when preparing Cu, Pd-zeolite catalysts on their acidity and degree of metal reduction was studied. The mutual influence of Cu and Pd on their reducibility was analyzed. The selectivity of Cu, Pd-zeolite catalysts in conversion of synthesis gas to different products was elucidated.
