The invention relates to preparation and application of a
metal oxide-
molecular sieve composite catalyst, and belongs to the technical field of industrial
catalysis. The catalytic reaction takes
carbon dioxide and
hydrogen as reaction raw materials, and the catalyst is formed by compounding a
metal oxide and a
molecular sieve. Wherein the
metal oxide is a
solid solution metal oxide or a
spinel metal oxide composed of three or two metal elements of M1, M2 and M3, M1 is one of Zn, Ga and In, M2 is one of Ce, Sm, La and Fe, and M3 is one of Zr, Ga, Cr, Al and Ti; the framework of the
molecular sieve is a
silicon-aluminum-
oxygen or
silicon-
phosphorus-aluminum-
oxygen tetrahedron; the metal oxide is prepared by adopting a gas
diffusion method. The metal oxide disclosed by the invention is prepared by adopting a gas
diffusion method, and has a very high specific surface area (80-300 m < 2 > g <-1 >). The composite catalyst shows excellent performance in a reaction for preparing low-carbon olefins (
ethylene, propylene and butylene) through
carbon dioxide hydrogenation, the
carbon dioxide conversion rate can reach 35% or above, the
carbon monoxide selectivity is smaller than 40%, the selectivity of the low-carbon olefins in hydrocarbons can reach 82.1%, the yield of the low-carbon olefins reaches 20.3%, and the composite catalyst has high catalytic stability. Compared with a traditional catalyst, carbon dioxide and
hydrogen can be efficiently adsorbed and activated, so that the conversion rate of carbon dioxide is increased, the preparation method is simple, the catalytic performance is excellent, and the catalyst has good industrial application prospects.
