diethyl ether

The shortage of oil resources and the aggravation of environmental pollution have triggered a craze for the world-wide search and development of new energies. As a supplement of traditional energies, dimethyl ether fuel has bright prospects in the energy sector. Dimethyl ether is a nontoxic and oxygen-containing fuel extracted from coal, natural gas and biomass. It has no color, no smell and no corrosion and can be used as vehicle fuel and domestic fuel, as well as refrigerant, aerosol propellant and foaming agent. Dimethyl ether is homologue of ether, but it is different from ethylether using as narcotic, and toxicity of dimethyl ether is extremely low; various kinds of chemical materials can be dissolved into dimethyl ether; Because dimethyl ether can be compressed, condensated, gasificated easily and can dissolve in a lot of polar or nonpolar solvent, so it can be widely used in spray agent of aerosol products, cold-producing medium substituting for Freon and solvent etc. Moreover, dimethyl ether can also be used in the synthesis of chemicals, and can be widely used in other felids.
