Acidic supported ionic liquid phase catalysts were investigated for the synthesis of oxymethylene dimethyl ethers (OMEs). The application of OME1 and trioxane for the gas-phase synthesis of higher OMEs and in particular the generation of OMEn with n higher than 3 was successfully demonstrated. Raising the pressure led to an increase in the conversion of OME1 and to higher selectivity for higher molecular weight OMEs. Furthermore, a correlation between the ionic liquid's acidity and the catalytic activity was shown with higher acidity leading to higher conversion of trioxane and OME1. Moreover, successful long-term operation for more than 200 h time on stream has been demonstrated with good catalyst system stability.
