Abstract
A Cu/Mn/ZrO2 methanol synthesis catalyst modified by Fischer-Tropsch (F-T) element (Ni,Co,Fe) was prepared by an coprecipatation method. The addition of F-T elements had a great effect on the catalyst performance. The higher alcohol selectivity increased greatly compared with that of the Cu/Mn/ZrO2 catalyst when nickel and cobalt were added, while the addition of iron improved the selectivity tohydrocarbon due to the interaction of the F-T element and the Cu/Mn/ZrO2 catalyst.
