CuZnTiO2/SAPO-34双功能催化剂的设计、制备及其用于CO2加氢制烯烃性能

CO₂加氢经甲醇（含氧中间体）制低碳烯烃工艺路线,可实现成醇、脱水两步反应串联协同进行,打破费托合成产物Anderson-Schulz-Flory（ASF）分布限制,高选择性地制取低碳烯烃。传统甲醇合成Cu基催化剂加氢能力较强,在两步反应中产物以CH₄、低碳烷烃为主。实验设计、制备了CuZnTiO₂/(Zn-)SAPO-34复合催化剂,实现了CO₂加氢在Cu基复合催化剂上高选择性合成C₂～C₄烯烃（约60%）。研究表明,两步反应过程中甲醇体积分数较低（＜6%）,且高温下逆水煤气变换反应严重,导致催化剂酸性变化对产物分布的影响较大。调变两类活性位点比例发现,CH₄的产生与串联反应存在竞争关系,SAPO-34酸量的增加抑制了CH₄的生成,促进串联反应正向进行;合适的酸性有助于生成C₂～C₄烯烃。控制成醇、脱水两类活性位点接触距离可调变烯烃的二次反应,降低加氢能力,改善产物分布。

A new low-temperature methanol synthesis method: Mechanistic and kinetics study of catalytic process

Mechanism and kinetics of catalytic process for a new low-temperature methanol synthesis on Cu/ZnO catalysts from syngas (CO/CO₂/H₂) using catalytically active alcohol promoters were investigated by in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS). Two intermediate species, adsorbed formate species and alkyl formate species, were formed in this synthesis process. The adsorbed formate species easily reacted with ethanol or 2-propanol at 443 K and atmospheric pressure, and the reaction rate with 2-propanol was faster than that with ethanol. Alkyl formate was readily reduced to form methanol at 443 K and 1.0 MPa, and the hydrogenation rate of 2-propyl formate was found to be quicker than that of ethyl formate. As a promoter, 2-propanol exhibited a higher activity than ethanol in the reaction of the low-temperature methanol synthesis.     

Hydrogenation of carbon dioxide to methanol over palladium-promoted Cu/ZnO/A12O3 catalysts

The effect of Pd on a Cu/ZnO/A1₂O₃ catalyst for methanol synthesis from CO₂/H₂ has been investigated. Activities of impregnated catalysts and physical mixtures were studied in an internal recycle reactor under 5 MPa, 250°C and a range of conversions. In all cases, the promotion of methanol production was greater at higher flow rates (lower conversions). The promotion achieved by use of Pd/A1₂O₃+ Cu/ZnO/Al₂O₃ physical mixtures was found to increase with Pd content. Greater promotion was observed over the Pd impregnated Cu/ZnO/Al₂O₃ catalysts, although this was insensitive to the particular Pd loadings used. The results are consistent with the proposal that hydrogen spillover is responsible for the observed promotion. The effectiveness of Pd as a promoter for the reduction of CuO in the catalysts was studied by TPR and was found to be related to the level of promotion in methanol production.     

铜基催化剂还原过程研究综述

Development of a new low-temperature methanol synthesis process

A new reaction route of methanol synthesis at low temperature from CO₂-containing syngas with Cu/ZnO catalyst and the aid of alcohols has been developed in a batch and a flow-type semi-batch reactors. The use of alcohols as catalytic solvents realized methanol synthesis at 443 K with formate as an intermediate. The activity of methanol synthesis depends on types and structures of alcohols. Among all alcohols, 2-alcohol exhibited the highest activity. With the aid of 2-butanol, the one-pass 47.0% conversion and 98.9% selectivity were achieved at a mild condition, 443 K and 50 bar. The new reaction route of methanol synthesis is a practical method for near future technology.     

Active sites in Cu/ZnO/ZrO2 catalysts for methanol synthesis from CO/H2

Among various Cu/ZnO/ZrO₂ catalysts with the Cu/Zn ratio of 3/7, the one with 15 wt.% of ZrO₂ obtains the best activity for methanol synthesis by hydrogenation of CO. The TPR, TPO and XPS analyses reveal that a new copper oxide phase is formed in the calcined Cu/ZnO/ZrO₂ catalysts by the dissolution of zirconium ions in copper oxide. In addition, the Cu/ZnO/ZrO₂ catalyst with 15 wt.% of ZrO₂ turns out to contain the largest amount of the new copper oxide phase. When the Cu/ZnO/ZrO₂ catalysts is reduced, the Cu²⁺ species present in the ZrO₂ lattice is transformed to Cu⁺ species. This leads to the speculation that the addition of ZrO₂ to Cu/ZnO catalysts gives rise to the formation of Cu⁺ species, which is related to the methanol synthesis activity of Cu/ZnO/ZrO₂ catalyst in addition to Cu metal particles. Consequently, the ratio of Cu⁺/Cu⁰ is an important factor for the specific activity of Cu/ZnO/ZrO₂ catalyst for methanol synthesis.     

Chemical and Physical Properties of Copper-Based Catalysts for CO Shift Reaction and Methanol Synthesis

The modern low-pressure methanol synthesis catalysts are based on copper-containing systems such as Cu/ZnO/Al₂O₃ and Cu/ZnO/Cr₂O₃ with various compositions. These catalysts are also highly active for the low-temperature CO shift reaction. For both reactions the nature of the active sites is still an open question.     

Methanol synthesis and reverse water-gas shift kinetics over clean polycrystalline copper

The kinetics of simultaneous methanol synthesis and reverse water-gas shift from CO₂/H₂ mixtures have been measured at low conversions over a clean polycrystalline Cu foil at pressures of 5 bar. An absolute rate of 1.2 × 10^–3 methanol molecules produced per second per Cu surface atom was observed at 510 K, with an activation energy of 77 ± 10 kJ/mol. The rate of CO production was 0.12 molecules per second per Cu surface atom at this temperature, with an activation energy of 135 ± 5 kJ/mol. The rates, normalized to the metallic Cu surface area, are equal to those measured over real, high-area Cu/ZnO catalysts. The surface after reaction was examined by XPS and TPD. It was covered by almost a full monolayer of adsorbed formate, but no other species like carbon or oxygen in measurable amounts. These results prove that a highly active site for methanol synthesis on real Cu/ZnO catalysts is metallic Cu, and suggest that the rate-determining step in methanol synthesis is one of the several steps in the further hydrogenation of adsorbed formate to methanol.     

Spectroscopic and Kinetic Analysis of a New Low-Temperature Methanol Synthesis Reaction

The spectroscopy and kinetics of a new low-temperature methanol synthesis method were studied by using in situ DRIFTS on Cu/ZnO catalysts from syngas (CO/CO₂/H₂) using alcohol promoters. The adsorbed formate species easily reacted with ethanol or 2-propanol at 443 K and atmospheric pressure, and the reaction rate with 2-propanol was faster than that with ethanol. Alkyl formate was easily reduced to form methanol at 443 K and 1.0 MPa, and the hydrogenation rate of 2-propyl formate was found to be faster than that of ethyl formate. 2-Propanol used as promoter exhibited a higher activity than ethanol in the reaction of the low-temperature methanol synthesis.     

Methanol reforming for fuel-cell applications: development of zirconia-containing Cu–Zn–Al catalysts

The steam reforming of methanol to form mixtures of carbon dioxide and hydrogen, together with traces of carbon monoxide, is considered to be a potential source of hydrogen as the fuel for a fuel-cell to be used in mobile power sources. After outlining some of the constraints inherent in the use of the reaction and the types of catalysts which have been used by other investigators, this paper presents results on the preparation and testing of a series of copper-containing catalysts for this reaction. It is shown that the reaction sequence probably involves the formation of methyl formate which then decomposes to give CO₂ as the primary product; CO is formed by the reverse water–gas shift reaction and this only occurs to an appreciable extent when the methanol is almost completely converted. A number of different copper-containing catalysts are then described and it is shown that of these sequentially precipitated Cu/ZnO/ZrO₂/Al₂O₃ materials have the highest activities and stabilities for the steam reforming reaction.     

Low-temperature methanol synthesis from carbon dioxide and hydrogen via formic ester

A new route of methanol synthesis, at 443 K and under pressurized conditions, from carbon dioxide and hydrogen through formic ester was investigated, by using Cu-based catalysts. This one-pot reaction consisted of three steps:

1. formic acid synthesis from CO₂ and H₂,

2. esterification of formic acid by ethanol to ethyl formate, and

3. hydrogenolysis of ethyl formate to methanol and ethanol.
