Abstract: HMCM-22 zeolite was modified with ammonium hexafluorosilicate at different t emperatures and used as an acidic component of the CuO-ZnO-Al2O3/HMCM-22 bifunctional catalyst for the direct synthesis of dimethyl ether (DME) from syng as. The modification at 45 ℃ (Cat F2) significantly enha nced DME selectivity. However, both CO conversion and DME selectivity were decre ased remarkably when the zeolite was treated at higher temperature (85 ℃, Cat F 3).
