This application discloses a method for preparing and applying a
tin selenide-supported ferruginous
zeolite catalyst, belonging to the field of catalytic
chemistry. The preparation method includes: pre-crystallizing a
mixed solution containing a
silicon source, an aluminum source, a template agent, and water to obtain a silica-
alumina gel; under stirring conditions, slowly adding a
mixed solution containing a
tin source, a
selenium source, and
ethanol sequentially, and then slowly adding an alkali to the silica-
alumina gel to obtain a mixed gel; placing the mixed gel in a sealed container for hydrothermal
crystallization; washing and
drying the hydrothermally crystallized product, followed by
calcination, to obtain the
tin selenide-supported ferruginous
zeolite catalyst. This application, by modifying silica-
alumina molecular sieves with
tin selenide, enables one-step
ethanol production using
hydrogen and
carbon dioxide as raw materials in a fixed-
bed reactor. Furthermore, the selectivity of
ethanol can be adjusted by modifying the catalyst preparation process.
