Knowledge-based development of a nitrate-free synthesis route for Cu/ZnO methanol synthesis catalysts via formate precursors.
نویسندگان
چکیده
High-performance Cu/ZnO/(Al(2)O(3)) methanol synthesis catalysts are conventionally prepared by co-precipitation from nitrate solutions and subsequent thermal treatment. A new synthesis route is presented, which is based on similar preparation steps and leads to active catalysts, but avoids nitrate contaminated waste water.

Understanding the complexity of a catalyst synthesis: Co-precipitation of mixed Cu,Zn,Al hydroxycarbonate precursors for Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 catalysts investigated by titration experiments
Co-precipitation of CuZn(Al) precursor materials is the traditional way of synthesizing Cu/ZnO/(Al2O3) catalysts for industrial methanol synthesis. This process has been investigated by titration experiments of nitrate and formate solutions. It was found that the solidification of the single components proceeds sequentially in case of nitrates: Cu is precipitated at pH 3 and Zn (as well as Al) ...
متن کاملCu/ZnO aggregates in siliceous mesoporous matrices: Development of a new model methanol synthesis catalyst
Copper and zinc were introduced into mesoporous siliceous matrices with the goal of obtaining model methanol synthesis catalysts with intense interaction between copper and the ZnO promoter. The preparation methods included various aqueous routes starting from acetate solutions (into MCM-48) and a route involving an organometallic step—thermolysis of a liquid heterocubane of Zn4O4 type ([CH3ZnO...
متن کاملNew insights into methanol synthesis catalysts from X-ray absorption spectroscopy
X-ray absorption spectroscopic studies from several different groups provide a consistent structural picture of methanol synthesis catalysts. Copper metal is the principal Cu species detected in all in-situ XAS studies. A small amount of Cu(II) persisted in many samples reduced below 600 K, but it appears to be catalytically irrelevant. Cu(I) was not detected in any of the in-situ XAS studies. ...

Copper-based catalysts (Cu/ZnO and Cu/ZnO/Al2O3) are the basis of the industrial methanol synthesis and methanol oxidation and are important components of fuel cell technology. For the preparation of these catalysts, metal–organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) technique has proven its potential. Furthermore, studying synergistic metal–support interactions, strategies can be developed to gai...
متن کاملTheoretical study of catalytic reduction of CO2 with H20 by BOC-MP method
Bond-Order Conservation-Morse Potential (BOC-MP) method is used to carry out the calculationon the CO2+ H20 system. One of the best catalysts for methanol synthesis in catalytic reductionof CO2 with H2O is Cu/ZnO/A1203 whose surface is supported by with some amount of Pd orGa. Reduction of CO2 with H20 on Cu will result in methanol formation; while on Ni will lead tomethane formation. In the me...
