EFFECTS OF CATALYST COMPOSITION ON METHANOL SYNTHESIS FROM CO2/H2
Effects of catalyst composition have been studied for Cu/support and Cu/ZnO/supports in methanol synthesis from CO2/H2. A strong effect of support has been observed. Different supports brought about different behavior in temperature-programmed reduction of copper, different copper surface areas, and different catalytic activity and selectivity. It seemed possible to find catalyst supports that might perform better than commercial Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 catalysts. A correlation was observed between catalytic activity and the copper surface area which was varied by using different supports. However, the supports appeared to influence other catalytic properties as well, for example, the surface oxygen coverage.
