Abstract

The combination catalyst of CeO2 and H-FAU zeolite was effective for the direct synthesis of diethyl carbonate from CO2 and ethanol with 2,2-diethoxypropane as a dehydrating regent, where H-FAU catalyzed hydrolysis of 2,2-diethoxypropane. The combination catalyst provided high activity and a high diethyl carbonate yield of 72% based on 2,2-diethoxypropane at a low temperature of 393 K.
