The direct synthesis of DME (DDMES) is attracting a great deal of attention because it is possible to increase the productivity of DME.

This is particularly relevant when CO<sub>2</sub>-rich syngas is used, since it leads to a higher production of H<sub>2</sub>O. In this work we show that heteropolyacids such as HSiW are a suitable alternative to state-of-the-art γ-Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> for the dehydration of methanol during the DDMES. This is because HSiW is not deactivated by the presence of water in the reaction medium. Thus, catalytic beds with HSiW reach up to four times higher DME productivity than those containing γ-Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>. This feature is further exacerbated when water is removed from the reactor by means of a sorbent, i.e., during the sorption enhanced direct DME synthesis (SEDMES).
