Low temperature methanol synthesis catalysed by a copper nanoparticle-alkoxide system
Ahoba-Sam, Christian (Doctoral dissertations at the University of South-Eastern Norway;6, Doctoral thesis, 2018-06-28)Methanol (MeOH) synthesis at low temperature in a liquid medium presents the possibility of achieving full syngas conversion per pass. The Low temperature MeOH synthesis (LTMS) process is advantageous over the current ... -
Low temperature methanol synthesis catalyzed by copper nanoparticles
Ahoba-Sam, Christian; Olsbye, Unni; Jens, Klaus-Joachim (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)A one pot catalytic system which involves Cu and an alkoxide co-catalyst has been used for methanol (MeOH) synthesis at low temperature. Up to about 92% syngas conversion per pass and more than 90% selectivity to MeOH ... -
Process Design of a Novel Low Temperature Methanol Synthesis Process Using an Air-blown Autothermal Reformer
Ahoba-Sam, Christian; Øi, Lars Erik; Jens, Klaus-Joachim (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Methanol (MeOH) synthesis at low temperature (100 oC) presents an opportunity for full syngas conversion per pass. This presents a cheaper alternative for MeOH synthesis using an air-blown autothermal reformer (ATR) rather ... -
Tailoring Cu nanoparticle catalyst for methanol synthesis using the spinning disk reactor
Ahoba-Sam, Christian; Boodhoo, Kamelia V.K.; Olsbye, Unni; Jens, Klaus-Joachim (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Cu nanoparticles are known to be very active for methanol (MeOH) synthesis at relatively low temperatures, such that smaller particle sizes yield better MeOH productivity. We aimed to control Cu nanoparticle (NP) size and ... -
The Role of Solvent Polarity on Low-Temperature Methanol Synthesis Catalyzed by Cu Nanoparticles
Ahoba-Sam, Christian; Olsbye, Unni; Jens, Klaus-Joachim (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Methanol syntheses at low temperature in a liquid medium present an opportunity for full syngas conversion per pass. The aim of this work was to study the role of solvents polarity on low-temperature methanol synthesis ...
