Dimethyl Carbonate Production from Methanol
This report presents the economics of a non-phosgene process for Dimethyl Carbonate (DMC) production from methanol in the United States. This process is a typical oxidative carbonylation process. Methanol, carbon monoxide and oxygen are reacted in the presence of copper chloride catalyst to yield DMC and water.

Dimethyl Carbonate Production from Ethylene Carbonate
This report presents the economics of a Dimethyl Carbonate (DMC) production from ethylene carbonate and methanol in the United States. In this typical transesterification process, DMC is generated in a reactive distillation and purified via extractive distillation. Monoethylene glycol is generated as by-product.
