Supported CuO and ZnO Catalyst for Hydrogenation of Carbon Dioxide to Methyl Alcohol

Article Preview

Abstract:

If the surface of the titanium chips (TC) was modified by thermal treatment under air atmosphere, it could be reused as catalyst support or photocatalytic materials. TC-supported CuO and ZnO catalysts were prepared by impregnation (IMP) method and co-precipitation (CP) method using cupric nitrate and zinc nitrate solution as precursors. Loading of CuO and ZnO on TC was 40.6wt% and 50.3wt%, respectively. The catalytic activity for CO2 hydrogenation was investigated using a flow-typed reactor under various pressures. Conversion of carbon dioxide to methyl alcohol over the CuO-ZnO/TC catalyst by CP and IMP methods were ca. 22% and ca. 10%, respectively. Conversion of carbon dioxide over CuO-ZnO/TC catalyst by CP method was increased with increasing reaction temperature in ranging of 15atm to 30 atm. Maximum selectivity and yield to methyl alcohol over CuO-ZnO/TC catalyst at 250°C were ca. 90% at 20 atm and ca. 18.2% at 30 atm, respectively.
