Study on reaction performances of oxygen-vacancies ZrO2 composite CuFe catalysts for syngas to higher alcohols
The synthesis of higher alcohols from syngas is of great practical importance
and the construction of catalysts is the key to this technology. CuFe and zirconia with rich oxygen vacancies components (ZrO
2
-OV) were prepared by sodium carbonate co-precipitation and oxalic acid gel precipitation
respectively. A series of composite catalysts CF-Z-
n
(CF
Z and
n
stand for CuFe
ZrO
2
-OV and the mass ratio of the two
respectively) were prepared by physically milling and mixing the two components. The series of catalysts can effectively improve the distribution of higher alcohols in alcohol products. The physicochemical properties of the catalysts were characterized by EPR
N
2
adsorption/desorption
XRD
TEM
XPS
H
2
-TPR and CO-TPSR-MS
and the reaction performances of the catalysts for preparation of higher alcohols by syngas catalytic reforming was investigated. The results show that ZrO
2
with rich oxygen vacancies promotes CO activation. After physically mixing ZrO
2
with rich oxygen vacancies and CuFe catalyst
a high-carbon and hydrogen-poor chemical environment is formed on the catalyst surface
which facilitates the conversion of CO and generation of higher alcohols. The catalytic performance of the composite catalyst can be optimized by varying
n
values. Under the reaction conditions of 260 ℃
5 MPa and space velocity of 4000 h
-1
the CO conversion rate of CF-Z-8 is 23.5%
the selectivity of total alcohols of CF-Z-8 is 15.0%
and the mass proportion of higher alcohols can reach 96.1%.
