Does acetic acid have an effect on the methanol catalyst?
Thread Content
I would like to ask those in this forum who work with methanol catalysts: does the presence of small amounts of acetic acid and iodomethane in syngas have any impact on methanol catalysts? The catalyst is copper-based C307
Are you using acetic acid as the absorbent?
I’m really not sure about that. Acetic acid will react with copper, causing the loss of active components, right?
The question posed by the original poster seems to relate to the production of methanol from acetic acid exhaust gases! Acetic acid reacts with zinc oxide in copper-based catalysts, thereby destroying the structure of the catalyst and causing it to become inactive ； The halogen iodine in iodomethane reacts strongly with copper, acting as a deadly poison for copper-based catalysts ；
