New process of low-temperature methanol synthesis from CO/CO_2/H_2 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.

CO2加氢合成甲醇Cu/ZrO2催化剂的失活因素

采用低温氮气吸脱附、X射线衍射(XRD)、电镜(TEM)以及热重差热(TG-DSC)等手段,对不同反应时间下Cu/ZrO₂催化剂的物理结构、微观形貌以及积炭情况进行了表征,分析了催化剂的失活原因。结果表明,造成催化剂失活的主要因素是活性组分烧结;其次,表面积炭覆盖其活性中心也造成催化剂活性在一定程度上的降低;而催化剂比表面积对其活性的影响较小。     

柠檬酸盐凝胶法制备纳米CuO-ZnO-ZrO_2的工艺分析及CO_2加氢制甲醇的性能

采用柠檬酸盐凝胶法制备出纳米CuO-ZnO-ZrO_2(CZZ)催化剂,应用XPS、BET、XRD、H_2-TPR、H_2-TPD、CO_2-TPD和TG-DTA等检测手段对催化剂及前驱体的结构进行表征。研究了湿凝胶干燥时间和柠檬酸用量对催化剂结构的影响,并与燃烧法制得的催化剂进行对比,考察了不同催化剂CO_2加氢制甲醇的性能。研究表明,延长湿凝胶干燥时间可有效防止催化剂焙烧时发生喷溅,有利于催化剂中各组分的分散,提高催化剂对H_2和CO_2的吸附能力;112℃干燥48h制得的催化剂(CZZ-48h)BET比表面积为43.5m~2/g,高于燃烧法;柠檬酸用量等于化学计量比时催化剂的性能最佳,在240℃、2.6MPa、空速为3600h-1、H_2/CO_2(体积比)为3的条件下甲醇时空收率达109.4g/(kg·h);柠檬酸过量会影响催化剂组分的分散度,并造成分解残留覆盖催化剂表面活性位而不利于CO_2加氢反应。     

CaO对Cu-ZnO-ZrO_2催化CO_2加H_2合成甲醇性能影响

用CaO作为改性助剂,采用并流共沉淀法制备了CuO∶ZnO∶ZrO_2为5∶4∶1(物质的量比),CaO添加量为0、1%、2%、4%、8%、16%(摩尔分数)的六组催化剂。用X射线衍射(XRD)、微商热重(TG-DTG)、傅里叶红外(FT-IR)、N2吸附脱附(BET)、X射线光电子能谱(XPS)、氢气程序升温还原(H_2-TPR)、CO_2程序升温脱附(CO_2-TPD)、NH_3程序升温脱附(NH_3-TPD)对催化剂进行了表征。用自制固定床评价了催化剂活性。结果表明,添加CaO后,催化剂路易斯酸性和表面碱性增强;催化剂母体中高温碳酸盐含量增加,热稳定性增强,CuO颗粒粒径变小,Cu-Zn协同作用增强,Cu比表面积增大,分散性变好。催化剂活性受到表面酸碱性、铜比表面积、Cu-Zn协同作用和铜分散性共同影响。当CaO为2%时,铜比表面积为79.3 m2/g、铜分散度为34.8%、CO_2转化率为24.55%、甲醇选择性为19.01%、甲醇收率为0.044 g/(gcat·h),催化剂活性最好。过量CaO占据催化剂孔道和覆盖表面活性位,使催化剂路易斯酸性和表面碱性过强,CuO与H_2有效接触减少,CO_2难以脱附,催化活性下降。因此,适量CaO(2%)添加可促进CO_2加氢反应合成甲醇。     

Promoting effect of polyoxyethylene octylphenol ether on Cu/ZnO catalysts for low-temperature methanol synthesis

Cu/ZnO catalysts were prepared by the co-precipitation method with the addition of OP-10 (polyoxyethylene octylphenol ether) and were chemically and structurally characterized by means of XRD, BET, H₂-TPR, CO-TPD and N₂O-titration. The effect of OP-10 addition on the activity of Cu/ZnO for the slurry phase methanol synthesis at 150 °C was evaluated. The results showed that Cu/ZnO prepared with addition of 8% OP-10 (denoted as C8) exhibited the promoted activity for the methanol synthesis. The conversion of CO and the STY (space time yield) of methanol were 42.5% and 74.6% higher than those of Cu/ZnO prepared without addition of OP-10 (denoted as C0), respectively. The precursor of C8 contained more aurichalcite and rosasite, and the concerted effect of Cu-Zn in C8 was found to be stronger than that in C0. Compared with C0, C8 showed smaller particle size, lower reduction temperature and larger BET and Cu surface areas.

CO/H2 and CO2/H2 reactions with amorphous carbon-metal catalysts

By metal impregnation of selected naturally occurring organic materials followed by controlled carbonization, metal semicoke catalysts can be readily prepared. These catalysts have been tested in the synthesis of hydrocarbons and alcohols from CO/H₂ and CO₂/H₂ mixtures. Fe and Co preparations have been used. Relatively high temperatures are required when using these catalysts, which are quite active for synthesis using CO₂ and H₂. The pressure (5150 kPa) is very favorable both for the synthesis of liquid hydrocarbons (C₅–C₃₀) and alcohols (C₁–C₅).

A sulfur-tolerant Pd/CeO2 catalyst for methanol synthesis from syngas

The catalytic activity of ceria-supported Pd for selective hydrogenation of CO is well preserved in the presence of 30 ppm H2S due to the parallel oxidation of sulfur by CeO2 under standard methanol synthesis conditions. The bifunctional nature of this catalyst opens a route for the conversion of sulfur-contaminated gas streams such as the integrated gasification combined cycle syngas or biogas into liquid fuels if desulfurization by conventional means is not practical.
