Abstract:

A series of Cu-Co/TiO2 catalysts with different Cu-Co loadings and Cu/Co mass ratio was prepared by equal volume impregnation. The catalysts performances were investigated for the direct synthesis of C2+ oxygenates from CH4 and syngas by a step-wise reaction technology. Several techniques, including N2 physical adsorption-desorption(BET), temperature-programmed reduction of hydrogen(H2-TPR), X-ray diffraction(XRD), temperature-programmed desorption of hydrogen nitride(NH3-TPD) and temperature-programmed desorption of CO(CO-TPD) were used to characterize the catalysts. The results show that among all the catalysts, 18%(Cu12-Co6)/TiO2 has the highest catalytic activity, the formation rate and selectivity of C2+ oxygenates reached 19.92 mg·gcat-1·h-1 and 67.76%, respectively. It is concluded that there is the interaction between the TiO2 and the active metal Co-Cu as well as the good dispersion in the catalyst, the catalyst has high activity; Highly dispersed micro-crystal CuO that is conducive to catalytic hydrogenation and dehydrogenation reaction can promote the conversion of CH4 and syngas. Besides, weak acid and mediate strong acid are beneficial to the conversion of CH4 and syngas, but strong acid produces inhibitory action to the reaction.
