Msc project on preparation of oxide for the Tandem CO2 hydrogenation to olefin through methanol

Successful combination of Methanol synthesis catalyst and Methanol to olefin in CO₂ hydrogenation to olefin have seen great interest lately. However, such system, despite great stability, still face some challenge such as the activity of the oxide phase. For that this project will be focused on the development of active oxide and their Structure-activity relationship.

Objectives and scope

Preparation of various oxide containing Ga, Zr, La, Mn and Co in various combination and proportion
Link physical properties such as CO2 and H2 adsorption to activity in the tandem reaction

Skills to be developed

Oxide preparation through Co-precipitation, Sol-gel and Flux synthesis
General characterization method, XRD, TPO-TPR, BET, MP-AES, CO₂-TPD
Development of structure activity relationship
