Fourteen multi-cycle carbonation/regeneration tests of the sorbent were carried out in a fluidized-bed reactor and the sorbent was characterized by X-ray diffraction and nitrogen adsorption. It is confirmed that TiO2 shows a positive effect on the adsorption process of Na2CO3 and the reaction rate is observed to increase significantly, especially in the first 10 min. Moreover, TiO2 is stable within the temperature range of the process and no other Ti-compounds are detected. The carbonation products are NaHCO3 and Na5H3 （CO3 ）4. The surface area and the pore volume of the sorbent keep stable after 14 cycles. The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy are used to analyze the effect mechanism of TiO2 on CO2 adsorption process of Na2CO3/Al2O3.展开更多

Compared to the catalysts prepared by the conventional method, the new catalysts prepared via the new method exhibit much higher BET surface area and pore size, much smaller crystallite size and higher catalytic activity and selectivity in CO 2 hydrogenation to methanol. It is also found that the molar ratio of Cu + to Cu 0 on the surface of the catalyst obtained by coprecipitation-reduction is much higher than that on the reduced catalyst obtained by the conventional method, which could be crucial for its high activity and selectivity for catalytic hydrogenation of CO 2 to methanol.展开更多
