Nanosized mordenites were found to show significantly enhanced reaction efficiency in dimethyl ether (DME) carbonylation to methyl acetate (MA) because of a greatly facilitated diffusion process. Copper incorporation into the channels of the nanosized mordenites further promoted the reaction rate, selectivity, and stability. Moreover, upon the addition of a small amount of H2 (5鈥?9 vol %) to the feed gas, deactivation was suppressed during DME carbonylation, whereas the catalyst stability and rate of formation of MA increased.
