The Promotional Effects of ZrO2 and Au on the CuZnO Catalyst Regarding the Durability and Activity of the Partial Oxidation of Methanol

The promoter ZrO2 was applied to prevent Cu crystallites from sintering over CZ (ca. Cu 30 wt.% and Zn 70 wt.%) under partial oxidation of the methanol (POM) reaction. Gold was selected to promote the performance of CZrZ (ca. Cu 31 wt.%, Zr 16 wt.%, and Zn 53 wt.%) catalyst to overcome a high igniti...
