Exploring carbon-based Cu-ZnO catalyst and substitutes for enhanced selective methanol production from CO: An integrated experimental and computational study.

Methanol, produced through the hydrogenation of carbon dioxide, is an essential intermediate compound that plays a crucial function in the production of various organic chemicals. Enhancing the design of copper-containing catalysts for the transformation of CO to methanol is a popular strategy in scientific literature, although challenges persist in advancing the efficiency of carbon dioxide transformation and the selectivity of methanol production. This research aims at creating CuZnO-M/rGO (M = Mg, Mn, and Cr) catalysts using an efficient method for selectively converting CO to methanol.

Investigations of the ODS process utilizing CNT- and CNF-based WO3 catalysts for environmental depollution: experimental and theoretical aspects.

In this contribution, CoW/X materials (X = CNT or CNF) were utilized as oxidative desulfurization (ODS) catalysts for the removal of dibenzothiophene (DBT) from a model fuel (n-decane), incorporating the HO as an efficient oxidant. Different operating conditions were investigated. Both compounds revealed high desulfurization efficiency using milder operating conditions leading to low levels of the DBT compound since only 1 h while using a low ratio of HO/S = 6.
