Catalytic Activity of Carbon Nanotube/Al2O3 Composites in Methanol Conversion to Dimethyl Ether and Formaldehyde
摘要
The catalytic activity of nanocomposites based on carbon nanotubes and alumina in the process of dehydration and dehydrogenation of methanol to dimethyl ether and formaldehyde has been investigated. It is shown that the incorporation of carbon nanotubes into an alumina matrix leads to an increase in the catalyst activity in the methanol dehydrogenation reaction due to the hydrogen spillover effect.
