Abstract:
Light olefins are of great importance as chemical raw materials, and ethylene is a crucial symbol to evaluate the development level of petrochemical industry. Catalytic hydrogenation of CO
2 to light olefins is one of the most vital approaches to utilize CO
2 with high added valued. InZr/SAPO-34 composite catalyst shows prominent potential in research and application because of their high light olefins selectivity and high stability in CO
2 hydrogenation. In this study, the effects of different preparation methods of InZr/SAPO-34 composite catalyst for CO
2 hydrogenation to light olefins were studied in depth. The catalyst prepared by co-precipitation method showed the highest catalytic activity, and the catalyst prepared by sol-gel-precipitation method showed the highest light olefins selectivity. The structure-activity relationship of InZr/SAPO-34 catalysts were revealed by various characterization methods.
