Manufacturing and Evaluation of Carbon Dioxide Hydrogenation Reaction Catalyst for Methanol Production, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Fotovat, Farzam (Supervisor) ; Zamaniyan, Akbar (Supervisor) ; Zamani, Yahya (Co-Supervisor) ; Rashidzadeh, Mehdi (Co-Supervisor)
Abstract
The hydrogenation of carbon dioxide to methanol represents a promising route for the efficient use of an anthropogenic greenhouse gas, in which catalysts play a key role in carbon dioxide conversion and methanol selectivity. In this study, firstly, CuO-ZnO-Al2O3, CuO-ZnO-ZrO2, CuO-ZnO-ZrO2-Al2O3, CuO-ZnO-Al2O3-CeO2 and CuO-ZnO-ZrO2-CeO2 catalysts were made using co-precipitation method, then these catalysts were characterized by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry, specific surface area and pore size distribution, X-ray diffraction, Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy, temperature programmed reduction. Finally, in order to compare the performance of the catalysts...
