Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of catalysts, and in particular to a copper-zinc-zirconium catalyst and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] The production of methanol through the reaction of CO2 with hydrogen from renewable energy sources not only addresses greenhouse gas emissions but also represents an effective approach to fossil fuel substitution. In recent years, CO2 hydrogenation to methanol has garnered widespread attention. Nobel laureate Euler even elevated this process to the level of a "methanol economy." This is because, among the many CO2 resource utilization processes, CO2 hydrogenation to methanol is relatively simple and can be modeled on the established industrial process of syngas-to-methanol, significantly reducing the risk of industrial scale-up. Furthermore, the production of methanol as a product preserves one of the oxygen atoms in the CO2, reducing hydrogen resource consumption and making the process more economical. The resulting methanol, in addition to being a clean energy source, can also be used through catalytic processes to produce downstream products such as methanol, aromatics, and gasoline, making it an ideal high-value-added chemical alternative to traditional resources like oil and natural gas. Therefore, utilizing CO2 hydrogenation to produce methanol is an effective means of addressing current CO2 emissions and the depletion of fossil energy resources.

[0003] Although the CO2 hydrogenation reaction to produce methanol is thermodynamically feasible, the chemical stability of the CO2 molecule causes the reaction process to overcome a large energy barrier. Therefore, the role of the catalyst is very important in this reaction process. In the prior art, the catalyst used for the CO2 hydrogenation reaction to produce methanol is mainly copper-zinc-based catalysts. However, the performance of industrial methanol synthesis catalysts directly used for CO2 hydrogenation to produce methanol is very poor. This is because the methanol synthesis of the synthesis gas route is different from the reaction of CO2 hydrogenation to produce methanol. In addition to producing methanol, the latter also produces an equal amount of water. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize the preparation of copper-zinc-based catalysts. CN102580750A uses a co-current co-precipitation method to prepare a catalyst for the hydrogenation of carbon dioxide to produce methanol. The catalyst is mainly composed of a composite oxide of Cu, Zn, Al and Ti. The catalyst has high activity and stability at relatively low temperatures and low pressures. CN103252241A uses a citric acid complex combustion method to prepare a catalyst containing Cu, Zn and La oxides, which has the advantages of high conversion rate and selectivity. The catalyst in CN103263926A is prepared by a co-precipitation method using a mixed solution of NaOH and Na2CO3 as a precipitant, and has the advantages of high carbon dioxide conversion rate, good methanol selectivity, and high methanol yield.

[0004] It can be seen that there are two ways to modify copper-zinc-based catalysts in the prior art. One is to introduce an auxiliary agent; the other is to break through the co-precipitation method and adopt a new preparation method. These methods can achieve the purpose of improving the catalytic performance of copper-zinc-based catalysts in the CO2 hydrogenation to methanol reaction, but there are still certain shortcomings. The introduction of auxiliary components increases the composition of the catalyst, and the repeatability of the catalyst preparation is difficult to guarantee. There are many factors that need to be examined and adjusted when improving the performance. For example, the preparation conditions of the citric acid complex combustion method are difficult to control, and the prepared catalyst is not easy to shape. In addition, in order to ensure the effect, citric acid is usually excessive, which will produce a large amount of CO2 gas during the combustion process.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a CO2 hydrogenation catalyst with simple preparation process, high stability, high catalytic activity, good reaction stability and low deactivation rate. Summary of the Invention
