Abstract: Advances in the carbonylation synthesis of dimethyl carbonate（DMC）from methanol or dimethyl ether with carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide were summarized. Merits and drawbacks of each technological route were analyzed. The oxidative carbonylation of methanol has drawbacks of low activity，easier deactivation and difficult regeneration of catalysts；low conversion of reactant；complicated technology for catalyst preparation；rigor reaction conditions；difficulty in the activation of CO2. Finally，emphasis for research and development in the synthesis technology of DMC was proposed.

摘要： 简述了分别以一氧化碳、二氧化碳与甲醇、二甲醚等进行羰基化反应合成碳酸二甲酯（DMC）的研究进展。并分别对各种工艺路线进行了分析和评价。目前现有几种工艺的不足之处表现在：甲醇氧化羰化中催化剂活性低、易失活、难以再生；催化剂使用时反应物转化率低；催化剂制备工艺复杂；反应工艺条件苛刻；CO2活化困难。最后阐述了碳酸二甲酯合成工艺的研究重点和发展前景。
