Novel synthesis of diethyl carbonate over palladium/MCM-41 catalysts
The catalytic activities of palladium supported on Si-MCM-41 and Ti-MCM-41 catalysts have been studied in the reactions of CO + C2H5ONO. It reveals that copper and titanium used as additives are able to increase the yields of DEC and DEO. The additive copper is favorable to DEO formation, while the additive titanium is favorable to DEC formation.
