The manufacturing of technical catalysts generally involves a sequence of different process steps, of which co-precipitation is one of the most important. In this study, we investigate how continuous co-precipitation influences the properties of Cu/ZnO/ZrO2 (CZZ) catalysts and their application in the direct synthesis of dimethyl ether (DME) from CO2/CO/H2 feeds. We compare material characteristics investigated by means of XRF, XRD, N2 physisorption, H2-TPR, N2O-RFC, TEM and EDXS as well as the catalytic properties to those of CZZ catalysts prepared by a semi-batch co-precipitation method. Ultra-fast mixing in continuous co-precipitation results in high BET and copper surface areas as well as in improved metal dispersion. DME synthesis performed in combination with a ferrierite-type co-catalyst shows correspondingly improved productivity for CZZ catalysts prepared by the continuous co-precipitation method, using CO2-rich as well as CO-rich syngas feeds. Our continuous co-precipitation approach allows for improved material homogeneity due to faster and more homogeneous solid formation. The so-called “chemical memory” stamped during initial co-precipitation is kept through all process steps and is reflected in the final catalytic properties. Furthermore, our continuous co-precipitation approach may be easily scaled-up to industrial production rates by numbering-up. Hence, we believe that our approach represents a promising contribution to improve catalysts for direct DME synthesis.

Bifunctional Al2O3/Cu/ZnO catalysts with Al composition of between 30 mol% and 80 mol% were prepared by sequential precipitation (SP) for the conversion of CO2 into dimethyl ether (DME). In the SP synthesis, the concentration of a precipitation agent managed to be high enough to induce the complete precipitation of Al3+. The prepared precipitates were composed of zincian malachite and amorphous AlO(OH). Furthermore, the calcined mixed metal oxide materials of 60% and 80% Al exhibited a higher acidity than commercial Al2O3 and the H2-reduced catalysts showed the similar Cu dispersion of 6%–7% at all Cu loadings. In the activity test at 573 K and 50 bar, the SP-derived catalyst of 80% Al (SP-80) displayed the best performance corresponding to CO2 conversion of 25% and DME selectivity of 75% that are close to equilibrium values. In order to overcome the thermodynamic limitation, a dual-bed catalyst system was made up of SP-80 in the first layer and zeolite ferrierite in the next. This approach enabled DME selectivity to be enhanced to 90% while CO2 conversion increased a little. Consequently, the studied catalyst system based on the SP-derived catalysts can contribute greatly to selective DME production from CO2.
