Promoted stability of Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 catalysts for methanol production from CO2 hydrogenation by La modification

摘要: CO2加氢制甲醇反应中Cu/ZnO/Al2O3催化剂的失活是限制其应用的主要原因之一,实验通过向Cu/ZnO/Al2O3催化剂中添加不同含量的La,合成了一系列La改性的Cu/ZnO/Al2O3催化剂,以提高其对 CO2加氢制甲醇反应的催化稳定性。在温度200 ℃,压力3 MPa,空速12000 mL/(g·h)条件下进行的100 h短期稳定性测试中,未改性的Cu/ZnO/Al2O3催化剂在100 h内活性衰减明显,添加La后催化剂稳定性逐渐得到提高,当La添加量为5% 时活性最佳(CO2转化率4%,甲醇选择性85%),并且该催化剂在1000 h长期稳定性测试中表现出较高的稳定性(在190−220 h失活 17% 后保持稳定)。通过X射线衍射(XRD)、X射线光电子能谱(XPS)表征发现,加入5% La提高了Cu/ZnO/Al2O3催化剂中Cu、ZnO的分散度,抑制了催化剂中Cu的烧结;同时稳定了Cu0/+,延缓了催化剂中Cu的氧化,从而提高了催化剂的稳定性。

Abstract: Deactivation of Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 catalysts in CO2 hydrogenation to methanol reaction is one of the main reasons limiting their application. We synthesized a series of La modified Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 catalysts by adding different contents of La to improve the stability. In the 100 h short-term stability test at 200 ℃ under 3 MPa with a GHSV of 12000 mL/(g·h), the unmodified Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 catalysts degraded obviously over 100 h. In sharp contrast, the stability was significantly promoted by the addition of La. The best activity was achieved with 5% La added samples (4% CO2 conversion and 85% methanol selectivity). Which also showed impressive stability over 1000 h except about17% deactivation during the initial 190−220 h. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) results revealed that the addition of 5% La improved the dispersion of Cu and Zn , inhibited the sintering of Cu, stabilized the Cu0/+ species and retarded oxidation of Cu in catalysts, which attributed to the high stability of the catalysts.-
