Green Synthesis of Dimethyl Carbonate Gains Popularity as Cost-efficient Method
Carbon is an abundant element and is one of the key elements in fuels and polymers. This has encouraged companies in the dimethyl carbonate market to convert carbon dioxide (CO2) into useful chemicals such as dimethyl carbonate (DMC), owing to the non-toxic attributes of carbon. This trend is anticipated to grow, since traditional processes such as phosgenation involve drawbacks such as the use of highly toxic and corrosive phosgene gas and the formation of large amounts of inorganic salts. Hence, companies in the dimethyl carbonate market are increasing their R&D efforts to gain efficacy in the green synthesis of DMC.
Manufacturers are adopting methods that involve direct synthesis of dimethyl carbonate from CO2 and methanol in order to gain efficacy in green chemistry. As such, green synthesis of DMC is growing popular as a cost efficient method, since methanol is a less expensive raw material. As such, DMC is being used as a precursor for polycarbonate synthesis.
