Abstract: The Cu-Zn-Al bifunctional catalysts were respectively prepared by complete liquid-phase method and sol-gel method. The properties of catalysts were characterized by XRD, N2 adsorption and XPS, and the catalytic performance of catalysts for DME synthesis directly from syngas in a slurry reactor was evaluated. The results show that Cu species and surface Cu content in catalysts have obvious difference, but texture properties are similar. The catalyst prepared by complete liquid-phase method has high selectivity and good stability, and the catalyst specific surface area, pore volume, surface Cu content and Cu/Zn mole ratio increase after reaction. The catalyst prepared by sol-gel method has obvious deactivation, and average deactivation rate is 1.62 %/d. The decrease of specific surface area, pore volume, surface Cu content and Cu/Zn mole ratio after reaction are the reason of catalyst deactivation.
