Abstract

ZnO supported on zirconia (ZnO/ZrO2) catalyses methanol synthesis with high selectivity and stability at temperatures >300 °C. When combined with H-ZSM-5 a CO2 conversion of 14-15 % with an aromatics selectivity of 73-76 % has been reported [1,2]. This work investigates the combination of ZnO/ZrO2 with ZSM-5 of various acid site densities, for the direct conversion of syngas to aromatics. The mixing ratio and operating conditions were optimized to increase the COx conversion and aromatics selectivity. This includes fundamental characterization using BET, ICP and XRD and in-depth characterization using in-situ XAS and DRIFTS.
