位于美国亚特兰大的Apyron技术公司(Apyron Technologies,Inc.)正在开发的一种催化剂,可在比传统催化剂低100℃的温度下由合成气生产甲醇。传统甲醇催化剂一般由铜、锌、铝氧化物组成,用水溶性盐共沉淀而成。这种新型的催化剂化学组成与前者并无不同,其差别在于制备方法。在Apyron公司的“先进材料合成技术”(AMST)中,金属氧化物与一种无机粘合剂(如胶体二氧化硅)混合,形成一种 Apyron Technologies, Inc., located in Atlanta, USA, is developing a catalyst that produces methanol from syngas at a temperature 100 ° C below the traditional catalyst. The traditional methanol catalyst is generally composed of copper, zinc, aluminum oxide, coprecipitated with water-soluble salt. This new type of catalyst has the same chemical composition as the former, with the difference being the preparation method. In Apyron’s Advanced Materials Synthesis Technology (AMST), metal oxides are mixed with an inorganic binder such as colloidal silica to form a
