Research progress in Cu-based catalysts for methanol synthesis and their preparation technology

Cu-based catalysts were commonly used in large-scale methanol synthesis device, and the catalyst types,promoters and preparation process have significant influence on the yield of methanol.Cu-based catalyst for methanol synthesis could be mainly divided into Cu-Zn,Cu-Zn-Cr,Cu-Zn-Al,Cu-Zr and so on.Cu-Zn-Al catalysts possessed excellent performance,and were used for the main catalyst in contemporary methanol production technology.Alkali metal,alkaline earth metal,transition metal,rare earth metal and nonmetal elements showed different effects on the activity,selectivity and stability of the catalysts for methanol synthesis.The effective preparation methods of Cu-based catalysts were precipitation method,sol-gel method,combustion method,mechanical mixing method and skeleton synthesis method,and precipitation method was mainly used for the preparation of methanol synthesis catalyst in industry.As for the development of the catalysts for large-scale methanol synthesis device,the improvement of selectivity and stability of the catalysts were the next research key.
