Abstract:Load-type methanol dehydration catalyst of (SAPO-34)-kaolin was prepared by hydrothermal method using kaolin as a low-cost material and triethylamine as template agent. The synthesized catalysts were characterized by XRD, SEM, EDS, BET, H2-TPR and NH3-TPD techniques. The results show the synthesized SAPO-34 molecular sieves prepared by Si and Al of kaolin grow in situ at the surface of residual kaolin. (SAPO-34)-kaolin has good dispersity and relatively high crystallinity. CuO-ZnO/(SAPO-34)-kaolin was prepared through loaded CuO-ZnO to the surface of (SAPO-34)-kaolin, which can be used for synthesis of light olefins from CO2 hydrogenation. Under the condition of temperature at 673 K, pressure at 3 MPa, airspeed at 1800 mL/(gcath) and V(CO2) / V(H2) = 1:3, the one-way conversion of CO2 could reach up to 43.5%, with a light olefins selectivity and yield of 63.8% and 27.8%, respectively. For a continuous performance as long as 8 h, the yield of light olefins is over 18.7%.
