The Catalysts Synthesis Methanol for Direct Synthesis of Dimethyl Ether from Synthesis Gas

Abstract:

Cuprum-zinc catalysts with chrome and zirconium additives were obtained by continuous codeposition within this study. XRD showed the presence of cuprum, zinc, chrome, and zirconium oxides phases. Catalytic activity was studied under the mixed loading with HZSM-5 zeolite as a catalyst for methanol dehydration during the STD-process reaction. TPR method was used to show that the reduction of catalysts takes place up to 350 °С. The maximum СО conversion value for sample CuZnAl amounts to 60 %, for sample CuZnAlСr - 83 %, and for sample CuZnAlZr it is 68 %. DME yield amounted to 18 % at a temperature of 240 °С for sample CuZnAl, for CuZnAlZr – 15 % (Т=240 °С), and for CuZnAl – 11 % at 220 °С.
