ABSTRACT
Intensified reactors for conversion of CO2 to methanol (via hydrogenation) using metal oxide catalysts coupled with methanol conversion to aromatics in the presence of zeolites (e.g., H-ZSM-5) in a single step are investigated. Brønsted acid sites (BAS) in H-ZSM-5 are important sites in methanol aromatization reactions, and correlations of the reactivity with zeolite acid properties can guide reaction optimization. A classical way of tuning the acidity of zeolites is via the effect of the isomorphous substitution of the heteroatom in the framework. In this work, H-[Al/Ga/Fe]-ZSM-5 zeolites are synthesized with Si/T ratios = 80, 300, affecting the acid site strength as well as distribution of Brønsted and Lewis acid sites. On catalytic testing of the H-[Al/Ga/Fe]-ZSM-5/ZnO-ZrO2 samples for tandem CO2 hydrogenation and methanol conversion, the presence of weaker Brønsted acid sites improves the aromatics selectivity (CO2 to aromatics selectivity ranging from 13 to 47%); however, this effect of acid strength was not observed at low T atom content. Catalytic testing of H-[B]-ZSM-5/ZnO-ZrO2 provides no conversion of CO2 to hydrocarbons, showing that there is a minimum acid site strength needed for measurable aromatization reactivity. The H-[Fe]-ZSM-5-80/ZnO-ZrO2 catalyst shows the best catalytic activity with a CO2 conversion of â¼10% with a CO2 to aromatics selectivity of â¼51%. The catalyst is shown to provide stable activity and selectivity over more than 250 h on stream.
