Green Car Congress: World Bank Supports Chinese Coal to Dimethyl Ether Project
		IFC is investing in a Xinao subsidiary—Xinneng Chemical—by buying shares worth up to $10 million and granting a $40 million loan for the plant that will convert coal into dimethyl ether (DME).
		Japan’s Toyo Engineering, for example, is designing and building a 210,000 tps coal-to-dimethyl ether (DME) with the Ningxia Coal Group in northwestern China’s Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region.
		Coal to liquids are just another nail in the coffin in which the planet is being buried.

Ether - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Ether is the general name for a class of chemical compounds which contain an ether group — an oxygen atom connected to two (substituted) alkyl groups. Ethers are not to be confused with the following classes of compounds with the same general structure R-O-R. Aromatic compounds like furan where the oxygen is part of the aromatic system. In a primary ether this carbon is connected to only one other carbon as in diethyl ether CH An example of a secondary ether is diisopropyl ether (CH and that of a tertiary ether is di-tert-butyl ether (CH Dimethyl ether , a primary, a secondary, and a tertiary ether . en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Ether (764 words)

[No title] Glycol ethers are federal hazardous air pollutants and were identified as toxic air contaminants in April 1993 under AB 2728. The physical properties and characteristics of glycol ethers are described in Tables I and II (Howard, 1990; Merck, 1989; Sax, 1989; U.S. EPA, 1994a). Glycol ethers also contributed to the total hazard index in 18 of the approximately 107 risk assessments reporting a total acute hazard index greater than 1, and presented an individual hazard index greater than 1 in 9 of these risk assessments (OEHHA, 1996b). www.scorecard.org /chemical-profiles/html/glycol_ethers.html (1391 words)

NTP: Abstract for Teratology: Diethylene glycol dimethyl ether Diethylene glycol dimethyl ether (DYME), a widely used organic solvent, is structurally related to several compounds which produce reproductive and developmental toxicity, including teratogenicity in laboratory animals. In conclusion, exposure of NZW rabbits to diethylene glycol dimethyl ether at 25 mg/kg/day during major organogenesis produced no adverse maternal or developmental effects. Doses of 50 and 100 mg/kg/day were associated with adverse developmental effects, but did not produce distinctive evidence of maternal toxicity. ntp-server.niehs.nih.gov /ntpweb/index.cfm?objectid=073024FB-D1D4-3798-75B2D2BA2B125A46 (491 words)

International Journal of Chemical Reactor Engineering Dimethyl ether (DME) is regarded as an environmentally benign fuel for vehicles. Two kinds of reactor technologies for DME synthesis have been proposed by previous researchers: the fixed-bed and the slurry reactor.
