New process of low-temperature methanol synthesis from CO/CO2/H2 based on dual-catalysis

A new process of low-temperature methanol synthesis from CO/CO₂/H₂ based on dual-catalysis has been developed. Some alcohols, especially 2-alcohol, were found to have high catalytic promoting effect on the synthesis of methanol from CO hydrogenation. At 443 K and 5 MPa, the synthesis of methanol could process high effectively, resulting from the synergic catalysis of Cu/ZnO solid catalyst and 2-alcohol solvent catalyst. The primary results showed that when 2-butanol was used as reaction solvent, the one-pass average yield and the selectivity of methanol, in 40 h continuous reaction at temperature as low as 443 K and 5 MPa, were high up to 46.51% and 98.94% respectively. The catalytic activity was stable and the reaction temperature was 80 K or so lower than that in current industry synthesis process. This new process hopefully will become a practical method for methanol synthesis at low temperature.     

沉淀还原法制备高性能CO2加氢合成甲醇Cu/ZnO/Al2O3催化剂

由铜基催化剂催化CO2+H2合成甲醇是有效利用CO2的潜在途径[1～5]. 但传统的催化剂对该反应的催化活性及选择性均很低[3～5], 因而寻求具有高活性及高选择性的新型催化剂已成为重要研究课题[4,6]. Cu/ZnO系列催化剂的制备方法和助剂对催化剂的性质及CO2加氢合成甲醇的反应性能有显著影响[6～10], 传统的气相还原活化铜基催化剂的过程常伴随强烈的热效应, 导致催化剂活化过程存在耗时长及还原条件难以控制等问题[11]. 本文采用沉淀-还原法, 用KBH4溶液对新鲜制备的碳酸盐共沉淀进行液相化学还原处理, 直接得到高活性及高选择性的还原态Cu/ZnO/Al2O3甲醇合成催化剂, 并可通过改变催化剂表面Cu+/Cu0活性物种的相对比例来改善催化剂的活性及选择性.     

Adaptation o Cu／ZnO／Al2O3 to Temperature Change in Methanol Synthesis from CO2 Hydrogenation

The induction behavior in CO2 hydrogenation was studied by varying the reaction temperature to investigate the adaptation of the Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 catalyst to the temperature change,The results indicated that a used catalyst had a tendency to keep the last running state in new reaction conditions for MeOH formation,and that this tendency was related to the difference in Cu/Cu^n ration caused by CO2 and CO produced at different reaction temperatures,However,the reverse water-gas shift reaction (BWGS) induced at four temperatures was completely different from that of methanol synthesis,It implied that the two so-called competitive reactions in CO2 H2,RWGS and methanol synthesis,have different, active centers.

液相还原法制备Cu/Zn/Al/Zr催化剂用于CO2加氢合成甲醇

近年来,由于大气CO2浓度增加引起的温室效应正日益威胁着人类的生存与发展,CO2的捕获与利用是有望解决温室效应和能源危机的有效途径.CO2催化转化为甲醇成为众多研究者关注的焦点,这是因为甲醇不仅是一种重要的基本化工原料,也是一种洁净的绿色燃料和能源载体.Cu基催化剂广泛应用于CO2加氢合成甲醇反应,并表现出良好的催化性能.通常,金属催化剂的制备是采用H2对金属氧化物进行还原.然而,传统的气相还原过程伴随着强烈的热效应,且需要在高温(473-573 K)下进行,会引起表面铜颗粒长大并加速其聚集烧结,使得活性组分利用率下降.近年来,以NaBH4为还原剂的液相还原法逐渐受到人们的重视,该方法操作简单、快捷且条件可控,反应在低温下进行,放出的热量可在液相环境中迅速得到转移,大大抑制了铜颗粒的聚集.因此,液相还原法可制备出高铜分散度、高活性的催化剂.焙烧温度对铜基催化剂结构和催化性能的影响已得到广泛探究,但这仅限于含二价铜物种催化剂,焙烧温度对含多种铜价态催化剂的影响未见报道.由于液相还原法制备的催化剂含有还原态的铜物种(Cu0和Cu+),它们比Cu2+具有更强的流动性,因此在后续的焙烧过程中催化剂更容易发生烧结和聚集.本文采用液相还原法合成了Cu/Zn/Al/Zr催化剂,分别于423,573,723和873 K焙烧后用于CO2加氢合成甲醇反应,考察了焙烧温度对制备的铜基催化剂结构性质和催化性能的影响,并与传统共沉淀法制备的催化剂进行了对比.结果显示,随着焙烧温度升高,铜物种聚集作用增强,金属铜颗粒尺寸增大,873 K时烧结出现显著增强.由于比表面积随焙烧温度升高而减小,高温度焙烧的催化剂具有小的表面碱性位数目.焙烧温度会影响催化剂中铜物种与其它组分的相互作用,进而影响催化剂的还原.随着焙烧温度的升高,催化剂的还原温度逐渐降低,表面Cu+/Cu0的比例先增后减.CO2加氢活性评价显示,液相还原法制备的催化剂具有更高的催化活性,尤其是甲醇选择性;随着焙烧温度升高,催化剂的CO2转化率和甲醇选择性先增后减,CZAZ-573催化剂具有最高活性,且在1000 h长周期活性测试中表现稳定.CO2转化率与催化剂暴露金属铜的比表面积密切相关.相比Cu0,产物甲醇更容易在Cu+表面催化生成,催化剂表面的Cu+/Cu0比与甲醇选择性的变化规律一致.通过调控焙烧温度可得到高Cu比表面积以及高Cu+/Cu0比的催化剂,有利于CO2加氢生成甲醇.     

Adaptation of Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 to Temperature Change in Methanol Synthesis from CO2 Hydrogenation

The induction behavior in CO2 hydrogenation was studied by varying the reaction temperatureto investigate the adaptation of the Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 catalyst to the temperature change. The resultsindicated that a used catalyst had a tendency to keep the last running state in new reaction conditionsfor MeOH formation, and that this tendency was related to the difference in Cu/Cun+ ratio caused byCO2 and CO produced at different reaction temperatures. However, the reverse water-gas shift reaction(RWGS) induced at four temperatures was completely different from that of methanol synthesis. It impliedthat the two so-called competitive reactions in CO2+H2, RWGS and methanol synthesis, have differentactive centers.     

Effect of supercritical fluid of CO2 drying during Cu/ZnO catalyst preparation on methanol synthesis from syngas at low temperature

A copper-based catalyst can be utilized to synthesize methanol from syngas containing carbon dioxide as well as water at low temperature and low pressure. However, the agglomeration of the metallic copper and zinc oxide decreased the catalyst surface area and the Cu-specific surface area. In order to prevent the sintering, the supercritical CO₂ was used to extract water from the catalyst precursor. Our results demonstrate that the Cu-specific surface area was the essential factor to affect the catalytic activity. A larger Cu-specific surface area would cause higher methanol synthesis activity. The optimized supercritical CO₂ drying condition was at 308?K and 8.0?MPa for 3?h when the methanol yield reached 44.8%.     

Ionic liquid mediated CO2 activation for DMC synthesis

Promoted catalytic reaction between methanol and CO2 for dimethyl carbonate(DMC) synthesis is conducted over K2CO3/CH3 I catalyst in the presence of ionic liquid under microwave irradiation.The effect of ionic liquids incorporated with microwave irradiation on the yield of DMC is investigated.DMC was found to form at lower temperature in a relative short time,which indicated an enhanced catalytic process by ionic liquid.Among the ionic liquids used,1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride is the most effective promoter.Density functional theory calculations indicate that CO2 bond lengths and angles changed due to the molecular interaction of ionic liquid and CO2,resulting in the activation of CO2 molecules and consequently the acceleration of reaction rate.

The results indicated that the best conditions for reaction were as follows: 240 ℃, 3600 h-1 and a molar ratio of H2 to CO2 the dispersion of the supported CuO species, which resulted in the enhanced catalytic performance of Cu-V/γ-Al2O3 binary catalyst.

Effects of pretreatment and reduction on the Co/Al2O3 catalyst for CO hydrogenation

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of preadsorbed CO at different temperatures, calcination temperatures, the combined influence of reduction temperature and time, and pretreatment using hydrogen or syngas as reduction agents on the F-T synthesis （FTS） activity and selectivity of Co/Al2O3 catalyst. The reactivity of the carbon species at higher preadsorption temperature with H2 in TPSR decreased, whereas the carbon-containing species showed higher reactivity over Co/Al2O3 catalyst with low calcination temperature. This agreed well with the order of catalytic activity for F-T synthesis on this catalyst. The catalytic activity of the catalyst varied with reduction temperature and time remarkably. CODEX optimization gave an optimum reduction temperature of 756 K and reduction time of 6.2 h and estimated C5＋ yield perfectly. The pretreatment of Co/Al2O3 catalyst with different reduction agents （hydrogen or syngas） showed important influences on the catalytic performance. A high CO conversion and C5＋ yield were obtained on the catalyst reduced by hydrogen, whereas methane selectivity on the catalyst reduced by syngas was much higher than that on the catalyst reduced by hydrogen.

A New Method of Low Temperature Methanol Synthesis

Low temperature methanol synthesis is a promising technique for the practical methanol industry. New developments of a new kind of low temperature methanol synthesis were reviewed, including the effects of feed gas, reaction solvent, supercritical media and catalyst modification. The reaction mechanism and kinetics were also summarized primarily. Carbon dioxide played an important role in this new kind of low temperature methanol synthesis. It reacted with hydrogen adsorbed on catalyst surface to form HCOOM, an important reaction intermediate. Alcohol solvent in the low temperature methanol synthesis performed not only a media, but also a homogeneous catalyst. The reaction of the adsorbed formate species with alcohol on Cu/ZnO catalyst surface proceeded according to the Rideal mechanism rather than Langmuir–Hinshelwood mechanism to form alkyl formate. The formation of alkyl formate from alcohol solvent and hydrogenation of such an alkyl formate were the key steps in low temperature methanol synthesis reaction. These results provided new insights into low temperature methanol synthesis.
