A systematic explanation from the basics of Cu/ZnO-based catalysts to CO₂ hydrogenation, reactor design, and green methanol.
■Title "Catalysts and Reactors for Methanol Synthesis ~From the Basics of Cu/ZnO-based Catalysts to CO₂ Hydrogenation and Green Methanol~" Green methanol is gaining attention as a key to achieving a carbon-neutral society. This seminar will systematically explain the equilibrium and kinetics of methanol synthesis, the history of industrialization, the fundamentals of Cu/ZnO/Al₂O₃ (CZA) catalysts, and the principles of reactor design. Additionally, it will provide detailed insights into the mechanisms of CO₂ hydrogenation reactions, strategies for catalyst deactivation prevention, yield improvement techniques through multi-step reactions and product removal, as well as the manufacturing technologies and practical challenges of green methanol. - Basics of the equilibrium and kinetics of methanol synthesis - Preparation methods and reaction mechanisms of Cu/ZnO/Al₂O₃-based catalysts - Differences between CO hydrogenation and CO₂ hydrogenation - Mechanisms of catalyst deactivation and countermeasures - Fundamentals of methanol synthesis reactor design - Manufacturing technologies and practical trends for green methanol - Researchers and engineers in chemistry, petroleum, gas, and energy-related fields - Plant engineering professionals - Planning and business development personnel
