Catalytic methanation of methanol.

Design of a core–shell catalyst: an effective strategy for suppressing side reactions in syngas for direct selective conversion to light olefins

“…The methanol and water are involved more readily in further methanation and the WGS reaction with the CO absorbed on the Zn-Cr metallic oxide defects, according to its thermodynamic equilibrium. 50,51 In order to accelerate the tandem catalysis process as well as mass transfer and diffusion, two kinds of components were physically mixed as a uniform distribution catalyst to shorten the distance between the two different active phases ( Fig. 1D).…”
