Abstract
The urgent need to reduce CO2 emissions requires the development of efficient catalysts for the conversion of CO2 into chemicals and fuels. In this study, a series of nickel catalysts supported on ITQ-2 and ZSM-5 zeolites have been prepared, characterized and tested in the hydrogenation reaction of CO2 towards methane. Specifically, two ITQ-2 and two ZSM 5 zeolites with different aluminum content have been studied. For both types, the higher Si/Al ratio of the material, the more active the catalyst due probably to its higher hydrophobicity. The largest difference was found for the ITQ-2 samples, being the CO2 conversion for the sample with a greater Si/Al ratio 50 points higher at 350 °C. Comparing both zeolite structures, while similar catalytic results were obtained with the samples with lower Si/Al ratio, a distinctly higher activity was found for the ITQ-2 zeolite without aluminum, pure silica. Therefore, this result suggests that the presence of aluminum is of particular relevance. Among the studied materials, the catalyst supported on the delaminated ITQ-2 zeolite without Al was the most active catalyst. Its higher activity was mainly attributed to the smaller crystallite size of nickel supported on the large external surface area presented by this zeolite.
