Lecture

Catalysis for Synthetic Fuel Production

Description

This lecture covers the catalysis for synthetic fuel production, focusing on the use of Ni-based catalysts for CO₂ conversion and methanation reactions. The instructor discusses the importance of promoters like Mn, the effect of Mn on Ni reduction, and the performance of different Ni:Mn catalyst ratios. The presentation also delves into catalyst optimization, reactor design, and the methanol synthesis process. Various catalysts throughout history are compared, highlighting the evolution towards more efficient Cu/ZnO/Al₂O3 catalysts. The lecture concludes with insights into reactor cooling strategies and new perspectives on methanol synthesis technologies.
