Abstract
An original kinetic model is proposed for the direct production of light olefins by hydrogenation of CO2/CO (COx) mixtures over an In2O3-ZrO2/SAPO-34 tandem catalyst, quantifying deactivation by coke. The reaction network comprises 12 individual reactions, and deactivation is quantified with expressions dependent on the concentration of methanol (as coke precursor) and H2O and H2 (as agents attenuating coke formation). The experimental results were obtained in a fixed-bed reactor under the following conditions: In2O3-ZrO2/SAPO-34 mass ratio, 0/1-1/0; 350-425 °C; 20-50 bar; H2/COx ratio, 1-3; CO2/COx ratio, 0-1; space time, 0-10 gIn2O3-ZrO2 h molC-1, 0-20 gSAPO-34 h molC-1; time, up to 500 h; H2O and CH3OH in the feed, up to 5% vol. The utility of the model for further scale-up studies is demonstrated by its application in optimizing the process variables (temperature, pressure, and CO2/COx ratio). The model predicts an olefin yield higher than 7% (selectivity above 60%), a COx conversion of 12% and a CO2 conversion of 16% at 415 °C and 50 bar, for a CO2/COx = 0.5 in the feed. Additionally, an analysis of the effect of In2O3-ZrO2 and SAPO-34 loading in the configuration of the tandem catalyst is conducted, yielding 17% olefins and complete conversion of CO2 under full water removal conditions.

Abstract
The effect of the ZrO2 content on the performance (activity, selectivity, stability) of In2O3-ZrO2 catalyst has been studied on the hydrogenation of CO2/CO mixtures. This effect is a key feature for the viability of using In2O3-ZrO2/SAPO-34 tandem catalysts for the direct conversion of CO2 and syngas into olefins via oxygenates as intermediates. The interest of co-feeding syngas together with CO2 resides in jointly valorizing syngas derived from biomass or wastes (via gasification) and supplying the required H2. The experiments of methanol synthesis and direct synthesis of olefins, with In2O3-ZrO2 and In2O3-ZrO2/SAPO-34 catalysts, respectively, have been carried out under the appropriate conditions for the direct olefins synthesis (400 °C, 30 bar, H2/COX ratio = 3) in an isothermal fixed bed reactor at low space time values (kinetic conditions) to evaluate the behavior and deactivation of the catalysts. The Zr/In ratio of 1/2 favors the conversion of CO2 and COX, attaining good oxygenates selectivity, and prevents the sintering attributable to the over-reduction of the In2O3 (more significant for syngas feeds). The improvement is more remarkable in the direct olefins synthesis, where the thermodynamic equilibrium of methanol formation is displaced, and methanation suppressed (in a greater extent for feeds with high CO content). With the In2O3-ZrO2/SAPO-34 tandem catalysts, the conversion of COx almost 5 folds respect oxygenates synthesis with In2O3-ZrO2 catalyst, meaning the yield of the target products boosts from ∼0.5% of oxygenates to >3% of olefins (selectivity >70%) for mixtures of CO2/COX of 0.5, where an optimum performance has been obtained.

Abstract
![]()
The conditions for
promoting the joint conversion of CO2 and syngas in the
direct synthesis of light olefins have been studied.
In addition, given the relevance for the viability of the process,
the stability of the In2O3–ZrO2/SAPO-34 (InZr/S34) catalyst has also been pursued. The CO+CO2 (COx) hydrogenation experimental
runs were conducted in a packed bed isothermal reactor under the following
conditions: 375–425 °C; 20–40 bar; space time,
1.25–20 gcatalyst h molC–1; H2/(COx) ratio in the feed,
1–3; CO2/(COx) ratio
in the feed, 0.5; time on stream (TOS), up to 24 h. Analyzing the
reaction indices (CO2 and COx conversions, yield and selectivity of olefins and paraffins, and
stability), the following have been established as suitable conditions:
400 °C, 30 bar, 5–10 gcat h molC–1, CO2/COx = 0.5, and H2/COx = 3. Under
these conditions, the catalyst is stable (after an initial period
of deactivation by coke), and olefin yield and selectivity surpass
4 and 70%, respectively, with light paraffins as byproducts. Produced
olefin yields follow propylene > ethylene > butenes. The conditions
of the process (low pressure and low H2/COx ratio) may facilitate the integration of sustainable
H2 production with PEM electrolyzers and the covalorization
of CO2 and syngas obtained from biomass.
