Book Description
Methanol is one of the most important industrial base chemicals and also a starting material for many organic syntheses. A steadily rising amount is used as fuel or fuel additive because methanol can serve as liquid hydrogen carrier. In the chemical industry, methanol is produced from synthesis gas over Cu/ZnO based catalysts. The catalyst is prepared by a multi-step synthesis (co-precipitation, calcination, reduction). Already in early stages of the preparation structural characteristics can provide indications for the resulting activity of the final catalyst. In order to investigate correlations between preparation parameters, microstructure and activity of Cu/ZnO based catalysts, the effects of the pH during co-precipitation and aging, use of MgO instead of ZnO and doping with Ga-ions were examined in the present work. Precursors, calcined and reduced samples were investigated with different methods (XRD, XRF, physisorption, TPR, RFC, UV-Vis spectroscopy, XAS, XPS, SEM, TEM) and selected samples were tested in methanol synthesis.

Book Description
"This thesis deals with the Cu/ZnO interaction in activated methanol synthesis catalysts. A combination of classical characterization techniques and surface science techniques was applied to probe the dynamic modification of catalyst structure upon the activation in hydrogen."--P. 135.

Book Description
The adsorption and deactivation characteristics of coprecipitated Cu/ZnO-based catalysts were examined and correlated to their performance in methanol synthesis from CO2 hydrogenation. The addition of Ga2O3 and Y2O3 promoters is shown to increase the Cu surface area and CO2/H2 adsorption capacities of the catalysts and enhance methanol synthesis activity. Infrared studies showed that CO2 adsorbs spontaneously on these catalysts at room temperature as both monoand bi-dentate carbonate species. These weakly bound species desorb completely from the catalyst surface by 200 °C while other carbonate species persist up to 500 °C. Characterization using N2O decomposition, X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) analysis clearly indicated that Cu sintering is the main cause of catalyst deactivation. Ga and Y promotion improves the catalyst stability by suppressing the agglomeration of Cu and ZnO particles under pretreatment and reaction conditions.
