A novel method to reduce the influence of by-product water on the catalytic performance of PdCl2/Cu-HMS catalysts for the synthesis of diethyl carbonate

A novel method to synthesise diethyl carbonate is introduced by the coupling reaction, the hydrolysis of diethyl ether (DEE) and oxidative carbonylation of ethanol, which reduces the influence of by-product water and satisfies the energy coupling for the reaction system.
