Abstract:

A three-site mean-field extended microkinetic model was developed based on ab initio DFT calculations from the literature, in order to simulate the conversion of syngas (H2/CO/CO2) to methanol on Cu (211) and Cu/Zn (211). The reaction network consists of 25 reversible reactions, including CO and CO2 hydrogenation to methanol and the water-gas shift reaction. Catalyst structural changes are also considered in the model. Experiments were performed in a plug flow reactor on Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 at various gas hourly space velocities (24–40 L h−1 gcat−1), temperatures (210–260 °C), pressures (40–60 bar), hydrogen feed concentrations (35–60% v/v), CO feed concentrations (3–30% v/v), and CO2 feed concentrations (0–20% v/v). These experiments, together with experimental data from the literature, were used for a broad validation of the model (a total of 690 points), which adequately reproduced the measurements. A degree of rate control analysis showed that the hydrogenation of formic acid is the major rate controlling step, and formate is the most sensitive surface species. The developed model contributes to the understanding of the reaction kinetics, and should be applicable for industrial processes (e.g. ... mehr
