Highly selective hydrogenation of CO2 to methanol over CuO–ZnO–ZrO2 catalysts prepared by a surfactant-assisted co-precipitation method

Hydrogen Utilization in Green Fuel Synthesis via CO2 Conversion to Methanol over New Cu-Based Catalysts

“…These findings concur well with our earlier results, especially in term of methanol yield and Eapp [30][31][32][33][34]. In addition, the catalytic performance of CuO-ZnO-CeO2-ZrO2 systems represent an advancement with respect to the results recently reported in literature by Cu-based catalysts [26,41,42].…”

“…CO2 hydrogenation to methanol by using Cu-based catalytic systems promoted by several oxides/carriers has been widely investigated in literature [3,5,[16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][27][28][29][30][31][32], although very few examples of multicomponent CuO-ZnO-CeO2 and CuO-ZnO-CeO2-ZrO2 systems are still present [25,26,33,34,41,42].…”

Effect of phosphorus on the activity of Cu/SiO 2 catalysts in the hydrogenolysis of glycerol

“…On the other hand, 1.3-PDO is commonly used for the production of polyesters and polyurethane resins [11,12]. http Among the choices of heterogeneous catalysts for the selective hydrogenolysis of glycerol, copper has been found to be highly active because it is a good hydrogenating catalyst [13,14], it exhibits low activity towards breaking C C bonds, and it is highly efficient in C O bonds hydrogenation and dehydrogenation. Copper catalysts have been reported to be highly selective towards propanediols, especially1.2-PDO [8,10,15].…”

Effect of TiO2, ZrO2, and TiO2–ZrO2 on the performance of CuO–ZnO catalyst for CO2 hydrogenation to methanol

“…The Cu-ZnO/Al 2 O 3 catalysts have a considerably high activity for methanol synthesis from syngas. However, their unsatisfactory CO 2 hydrogenation performance, due to a negative effect of water in the presence of the hydrophilic alumina carrier [7,8], is pressing the discovery of alternative catalyst formulations including copper as activity phase and various oxide supports and promoters like ZnO [9], Al 2 O 3 [10,11], TiO 2 [11][12][13][14][15], SiO 2 [11,15], ZrO 2 [15][16][17][18][19], CeO 2 [20,21] or their combinations [20][21][22]. Among the additives studied, ZnO, ZrO 2 and TiO 2 are very promising catalyst supports and/or promoters.…”
