چکیده

متانول یکی از چهار ماده شیمیایی اساسی در کنار اتیلن، پروپیلن و آمونیاک است که برای تولید سایر محصولات شیمیایی استفاده می‌شود. تولید صنعتی متانول به گاز سنتز (مخلوطی از CO، H2 و CO2)، وابسته است. یکی از روش‌های تولید هیدروژن از منابع تجدید پذیر و آلی، هیدروژن سبز است که تحقیقات در این زمینه به‌عنوان یک سوخت تجدید پذیر درحال‌توسعه است. دی‌اکسید کربن (CO2) به‌عنوان یک گاز گلخانه‌ای و عامل اصلی تغییرات اقلیم جهانی است که با استفاده از مطالعات انجام‌شده، عملیات جذب و بازیافت آن به محصولات و سوخت‌های باارزش در حال انجام است. یکی از روش‌های کاهش CO2 تولید متانول است. در این مطالعه، با استفاده از روش آزمایشگاهی نانو فوتوکاتالیست و نور UV (روش تجدید پذیر)، گاز سنتز با ترکیب آب و هیدروکربن تولید گردید. نتایج آزمایشگاهی نشان می‌دهد با تخریب ۸۵/۳ درصد هیدروکربن موجود در آب، کارایی نانوفوتوکاتالیست کرومات مس بر پایه اکسید تیتانیوم در تولید گاز سنتز حدود ۱۴ درصد بیشتر از نانو فوتوکاتالیست اکسید تیتانیوم است. علاوه بر این، فاز کریستالی و ساختار ماده، مورفولوژی و ترکیب شیمیایی آن با استفاده از اندازه‌گیری‌های XRD، SEM/EDS، TEM/EDS و XPS مورد آزمایش و مورد آنالیز قرار گرفت. این روش کاتالیستی به دلیل کاهش انتشار گازهای گلخانه‌ای و آثار زیست‌محیطی در جهت تولید یک سوخت پاک می‌تواند حائز اهمیت باشد. یکی از کاربردهای متانول در خوراک واحد MTBE، جهت افزایش عدد اکتان بنزین است. همچنین، پیشنهاد می‌شود در آینده با کاهش قیمت متانول در بازار جهانی و اهمیت روزافزون مسائل زیست‌محیطی، از طریق مشوق‌های مناسب، جهت سرمایه‌گذاری برای تبدیل متانول به پروپیلن تلاش شود.

چکیده [English]

Methanol is one of the four basic chemicals that is used beside ethylene, propylene and ammonia to produce other chemicals. Industrial production of methanol is dependent on synthesis gas (a mixture of CO, H2 and CO2). One of the approaches of producing hydrogen from renewable and organic sources is green hydrogen, and researches in this field is being developed as a renewable fuel. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a greenhouse gas and the main reason of global climate change, which is being studied and recycled to valuable products and fuels. Methanol production is one of method for decreasing CO2. In this study, using an experimental method of nano-photocatalyst and UV light (renewable method), synthesis gas by combining water and hydrocarbons was produced. Experimental results show that with the degradation of 85.3% of hydrocarbons in water, the efficiency of titanium oxide-based copper chromate nano-photocatalyst in the production of synthesized gas is about 14% higher than that of titanium oxide nano-photocatalyst. In addition, the crystalline phase and material structure, morphology and chemical composition were tested and analyzed using the measurements of XRD, SEM/EDS, TEM/EDS and XPS. This catalytic technique can be important in producing a clean fuel due to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and environmental effects. One of the applications of methanol in MTBE feed is to increase the octane number of gasoline. It is also proposed, with the reduction of methanol prices in the global market in the future and the growing importance of environmental issues, through appropriate incentives, efforts should be made to invest in the conversion of methanol to propylene.
