The effects of different active components and different calcination temperatures of CuMnspinel were studied. The results show that HZSM5 (nSiO2/nAl2O3=38) has the highest H2 production rate among different DME hydrolysis active components. CuMnspinel has high H2 production among different methanol reforming active components. CuMnspinel that was calcined by 700 °C exhibits the highest activity for DME steam reforming. The result shows that DME conversion is 99.65% and H2 production is 73.15% at 350 °C when used the bifunctional catalyst composed of CuMnspinel(700 °C) and HZSM5(38). The study is very important for fuel design of DME engine.
