Detailed kinetic modeling of methanol synthesis over a ternary copper catalyst

On the kinetics of the methanation of carbon dioxide on coprecipitated NiAl(O)

“…Similar empirical power law models as adopted here have, however, been successfully employed for methanol synthesis, for instance [50]. Parameter estimation for PL-H2O yields a negative reaction order, which reflects the inhibiting influence mentioned above.…”

Discrimination of methanol desorption resistance relative to the reaction steps in presence of supercritical n-hexane

“…(4) is therefore an effective reaction step in CO conversion to methanol. Subsequently, methanol is formed via the successive hydrogenation of adsorbed carbon dioxide [12]. The primary reaction steps of methanol synthesis from CO 2 /H 2 and CO/CO 2 /H 2 can be described as following:…”

On the Temperature Programmed Desorption of Hydrogen from Polycrystalline Copper

“…As shown for Cu/ZnO/Al 2 O 3 systems, this technique enables to monitor dynamic morphologic changes of the copper crystallites which are induced by partial reduction of the ZnO in vicinity to copper [8][9][10]. As this process is a function of the gas atmosphere reduction potential and influences the catalyst activity it has also been included in a microkinetic model which can be extrapolated to industrially relevant conditions [11][12][13]. However, the nature of the copper surface probed by H 2 desorption is still vague.…”
