Abstract

The flame combustion synthesis of Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 catalysts for the synthesis of methanol from CO, CO2, and H2 is investigated. The oxides are generated in a premixed flame from the acetylacetonate vapours of Cu, Zn, and Al mixed with the fuel and air prior to combustion. The flame-generated powder is examined by X-ray powder diffraction, determination of the specific surface area by the BET method, determination of the copper ...
