11 methanol using dielectric barrier discharge (DBD). The methanol synthesis process was

13 occurred at ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure. In our experiment, CZA
14
15
16 showed a high catalytic activity to increase the production of methanol. The methanol
17
18 selectivity of CZA-assisted plasma process was twice higher than that of non-catalytic
19
20 plasma process. The addition of other metals on CZA catalyst also produced a
Fo
21
22
23 significant effect on the methanol production and it was found that yttrium could the
24
rP
25 best addition metal compared to Pt, Fe, and Ni. Instead of methanol, the reaction
26
27 products of plasma reactions were dominated by H2, CO, CO2, C2 and water. The

optimum methanol selectivity reached 31% when 3% yttrium metal was doped over
31

11 The catalytic conversion of methane into methanol is one of the major challenges for
12
13 chemists. Methane, as the major part of natural gas, is the cheapest and promising
14
15
16 source for direct conversion chemical process to produce methanol. Nowadays, the need
17
18 for methanol increases due to its importance as an intermediate material for industries.
19
20 Currently, the production of methanol is done via synthesis gas (CO, CO2, and H2) over
Fo
21
22
23 Cu-Zn-Al2O3 (CZA) catalyst. However, this process route can be changed drastically
24
rP
25 when the effective method to oxidize methane to methanol is found. Catalytic oxidation
26
27 of methane at low temperatures is economically interesting, but, also very difficult to
28
29
ee
30
achieve as a result of the high stability of C-H bonds.
31
32 The investigations of methane oxidation to methanol in non-thermal plasmas have been
rR
33
34 made worldwide by corona discharges, spark discharges, gliding arc, or dielectric
35
36
barrier discharges (DBD) at atmospheric pressure and ambient temperature. Some
37
ev
38
39 researchers have tried to add auxiliary gases in the process, such as hydrogen [1], air [1-
40
41 3], oxygen [2-5], noble gas [3, 6]. Some others used the different types of plasma
iew
42
43 discharges that possibly produce different products distribution [7-8]. However, the
44
45
46 production of methanol was low and not economically meets the market requirement.
47
48 In the present research, comprehensive study on the performance of plasma process and
49
50 Cu-Zn-Al (CZA)-based catalyst for methane partial oxidation has been undertaken.
51
52
53 Dielectric barrier discharge was chosen as the plasma media due to mild characteristic
54
55 which probably offers better process for methanol synthesis. In methanol synthesis via
56
57 synthesis gas, CZA has been claimed as the active component for methanol production
58
59
60 [9-10]. Although the catalytic reaction mechanism is still confusing, the existence of

6 CZA in the process was proved to be better material catalyst than other metals. The
7
8
9 synergy among Cu-Zn-Al was able to absorb the molecules and conducted a series of
10
11 surface reactions on the catalyst surface. In the plasma environment where the radical
12
13 and ion are abundant, the above mechanism would be able to boost the methanol
14
15
16 production.
17
18 In accordance with the above discussion, this study investigates the influence of CZA
19
20 on direct partial oxidation of methane to produce methanol. CZA and metal-supported
Fo
21
22
23 CZA catalysts were prepared and characterized, and the efficiencies were demonstrated

53 the outer side of tube as the outer electrode. The effective volume and length of the
54
55 reactor were 8.8 mL and 200 mm, respectively. In order to maintain the similarity of the
56
57 reactor configuration, e.g. electrodes gap distance, the reactor capacitance was checked
58
59
60 first by an RCL meter (Fluke PM6304) before and after experiments.

14 The precursors of methanol synthesis catalysts, denoted as CZA and CZA-[Pt Ni

16 Fe Y], with the % mol ratios of Cu:Zn:Al = 6:2.5:1.5 were prepared by simultaneous co-
17
18
19 precipitation method from their nitrates solution at a pH about 7.0. A buffer solution
20
Fo
21 with a pH 8.50 containing a mixture of NaHCO3 and Na2CO3 was used as the
22
23 precipitation agents throughout the works. In a typical catalyst preparation, metal

rP
25
26 nitrates of Cu(NO3)2 3H2O, Zn(NO3)2 6H2O, and Al(NO3) 9H2O were dissolved in H2O
27
28 to get 250 mL of metal nitrate solution with total molar concentration of 0.3 M. In a
29
ee
30 1000 mL beaker glass initially filled with 200 mL of distilled water, a solution of metal
31
32
nitrates and a solution of precipitation agent were dropt simultaneously for 1.5 hours
rR
33
34
35 under vigorous agitation at room temperature while the pH of the slurry was maintained
36
37 in a range from 6.90 to 7.10. Following the completion of co-precipitation process, the
ev
38
39
40
slurry was stirred further, which is so-called aging, for 2 hours at room temperature.
41
iew
42 The formed precipitate was filtered and washed with distilled water under stirring for 12
43
44 hours. This procedure was repeated 6 times which were found to be sufficient for the
45
46
47
slurry reached pH about 7.0. The cake was dried at room temperature for 24 hours and
48
49 then oven dried at 110 C for 24 hours. The catalyst precursor was calcined under air
50
51 condition at 350oC for 2 hours. The catalyst for methanol synthesis was grinded to about
52
53
0.18 mm and physically mixed with a weight ratio of 1 with the same particle size of I-
54
55
56 Al2O3 as the methanol dehydration catalyst. In order to compare the performance of
57
58 prepared catalyst with commercial CZA catalysts, the CZA produced by ICI (ICI
59
60 Katalco 51-8; noted as CZAi) and BASF (BASF K3-110; noted as CZAb) was ordered.

14
15
16 Crystal structures were identified by powder X-ray diffraction spectroscopy on
17
18 a Shimadzu 6000 X-ray diffractometer system (Cu KL radiation, 40 kV, 30 mA). Figure
19
20 2a presents the XRD pattern changes of the prepared CZA at various conditions. The
Fo
21
22
23 CZA structure was greatly changed before and after calcinations. After oven drying, the
24
rP
25 catalyst shows clearly a hydorotalcite-like (HTlc) and malachite phases. This result is
26
27 consistent with the previous report which suggested that HTlc phase coexists with a
28
29
ee
30
malachite phase when the atomic ration of Cu/(Cu+Zn) is in the range from 0.5 to 0.9.
31
32 CuO also appears due to the high Cu/Zn ratio. The presence of CuO along with HTlc
rR
33
34 occurs due to the Jahn-Taller effect. The existence of those phases on the fresh
35
36
uncalcined CZA catalyst will guaranty its activity of the after calcinations treatment.
37
ev
38
39 Those forms were also appeared at all series CZA catalyst with addition of Pt, Ni, Fe,
40
41 and Y as shown in figure 2b. The catalyst structure was greatly changed after
iew
42
43 calcinations treatment which mostly produced CuO and ZnO as the most dominant
44
45
46 phases. However, in figure 2a, the structure of catalyst before and after 6 hours plasma
47
48 process was not so much different. It concludes that the deactivation of catalyst was not

7
8
9 a typical experiment about 50 mg of sample was loaded and reduced using 5 vol % H2
10
11 in Ar at 250 °C for 1 h and purged the reactor in a He stream at 250 °C for 30 min and
12
13 cooled down to 90 °C at which the N2O titrations were carried out. A surface copper
14
15
16 density of 1.47.1019 atoms/m2 assuming Cu:O = 2:1 was used in this investigation.
17
18 Surface analysis was done using Hitachi FE-SEM S-400 microscope at an accelerating
19
20 voltage 0.5~30 kV. Figure 3 shows the surface images of the CZA catalyst. Figure 3 also

using the same instrument. The typical result of EDS analysis of the catalyst is shown in

9 Figure 4 shows the comparison of the catalyst performance between CZA made by co-
10
11 precipitation method with the commercialized one. By addition of CZA catalyst, the
12
13 selectivity of methanol was sharply increased, almost 2 times higher compared to non-
14
15
16 catalytic plasma reaction. In non catalyst reaction, the most products were dominated by
17
18 CO, CO2, and H2. The selectivity of methanol was less than 11%. From the result of non
19
20 catalytic process, it can be said that the non-catalytic plasma will convert methane and
Fo
21
22
23 O2 into synthesis gas (CO, CO2, and H2). C2H6 was found as the single major product of
24
rP
25 higher hydrocarbon.
26
27 Based on our previous kinetics calculation [12], the methanol from methane oxygen
28

plasma reaction can be possible produced from two reaction mechanisms:
31
32 CH3 + OH CH3OH (6)
rR
33
34 CH2 + H2O CH3OH (7)
35
36
Insertion reaction of single atom oxygen to methane was rarely occurred because

49
50 By employing CZA catalyst, which is well-known catalyst for converting synthesis gas
51
52
53 to methanol, the selectivity of methanol was higher. We can conclude here that the
54
55 plasma-catalytic process of methane and oxygen is a 2-stages process which consists of
56
57 methane and oxygen conversion to synthesis gas then with catalyst, it will be converted
58

11 be used further as the selectivity to produce methanol is similar to the commercialized
12
13 catalysts. Instead of methanol selectivity, the stability of the catalyst was also good. The
14
15
16 deactivation of catalyst, e.g. by carbon decomposition, was not occurred. Our previous
17

39 The effect of catalyst loading on the methanol selectivity at 50W was shown in Figure 5.
40
41 The experimental results represented that the methanol selectivity was increased with

43 the increase of catalyst loading. The methanol selectivity was increase from 24% to
44
45
46 27.4% when the catalyst loading increased from 0.5 gram to 1.5 gram. However, the
47
48 catalyst loading did not affect the conversion of methane. The methane conversion was
49
50 between 28% and 33%. Increasing amount of catalyst in the reactor will increase the
51
52
53 methanol selectivity means that more catalytic reactions of methanol production will be
54
55 occurred on the surface of the catalyst. Although the selectivity increased, the efficiency
56
57 of the catalyst, defined as a ratio of methanol production per weight of catalyst loading,
58
59
60 was decreasing.

10
11 the total C2 hydrocarbons. Similar with previous results, the increment of methanol
12
13 production was followed by reducing concentration of CO, CO2 and H2 in the products

17
18 while H2 around 30%.

23 3.3. Effect of power increment
24
rP
26
27 In order to increase the methane conversion and probably the yield of methanol, the
28
29
ee
30
supplied power to the reactor was increased from 80 to 120W. The effects of applied
31
32 power to the products are shown in figure 6 and table 3. The conversion rate of methane
rR
33
34 increased from 27% at 50W to 45% at 140W. It can be deduced trivially that by
35
36
supplying more energy to the reactor, the conversion of reactant will increased. As
37
ev
38
39 conversion of methane and supplied power increased, the methanol selectivity of non-
40
41 catalytic process tends to decrease. In other words, fragmentation reactions of molecules
iew
42
43 were preferable than re-combination or higher molecule synthesis reactions [13-15].
44
45
46 This idea was supported by the result presented in Table 3 which the concentration of
47
48 CO, CO2, and H2 also increased. In non catalytic plasma reaction, this condition resulted
49
50 lower production of methanol. The existence of CZA catalyst will help maintaining the
51
52
53 production of methanol from synthesis gas produced by fragmentation reactions of
54
55 methane and oxygen. As shown in figure, although the selectivity of methanol decreases
56
57 as power increases, the decrement rate of plasma with CZA catalyst is lower than that of
58
59
60 non-catalytic plasma process.

10

13
14
15
16 In order to increase the activity of the catalyst, other transition metals, e.g. Pt, Ni, Fe,
17
18 and Y, have been to the CZA catalyst. The percentage of additional metal loading was
19
20 only 3%, except for Pt which is only 1%. Meanwhile, the total catalyst weight loaded in
Fo
21
22
23 the reactor was only 0.5 gram.
24
rP
25 As shown in Figure 5, except Ni, the addition of metal catalysts on CZA gives a positive
26
27 effect by increasing the selectivity of methanol around 15 to 20% compared to the
28
29
ee
30
methanol selectivity of CZA catalyst. Among those, yttrium produced the highest value
31
32 of methanol selectivity that able to convert methane to methanol around 31%. The
rR
33
34 addition of Y, also Pt and Fe, gave a significant effect on the direction of oxidation
35
36
reaction. From table 4, the addition of Pt decreases the selectivity of CO2 and CO. The
37
ev
38
39 probability of methane conversion to methanol would be higher as there is no
40
41 significant different found on the remaining products, e.g. C2 and higher hydrocarbons.
iew
42
43 Instead of above reaction mechanism of methanol production, another mechanism of
44
45
46 methanol by CH3 and OH reaction could be occurred. Pt and Fe are well-know metal
47
48 catalysts which were able to activate CH4 [16-17] and adsorb OH [18]. Methanol can be
49
50 formed by surface reaction between methyl methane with OH:
51
52
53 CHx CHx (surf) (11)
54
55 CHx (surf) + OH(surf) + (3-x) H(surf) CH3OH (surf) (12)
56
57 For the case of yttrium addition, the above mechanism is not proved yet. However, we
58
59
60 calculate of total produced CO and CO2 and the ratio of CO2 to CO is lower among
12
Catalysis Letters
1
2
3
4
5
6 other catalyst. Instead of lower selectivity of methane conversion to CO and CO2, the
7
8
9 oxidation of CO to CO2 in CZA catalyst is also the lowest value. The existence of
10
11 yttrium inhibits the secondary oxidation of carbon from CO to CO2. This will create a
12
13 chance for CO to be converted into methanol. The detail phenomena of partial oxidation
14
15
16 of methane with yttrium stabilized zirconia were observed by our previous research [19].
17
18 Different phenomena could be found in case of Ni-CZA catalyst. The selectivity of
19
20 methanol production decreased compared to CZA catalyst. In this case, we can think
Fo
21
22
23 about different actions of Ni on the reaction. Ni catalyst is also able to decompose
24
rP
25 methanol by oxidation reaction [20-21]

31
32
rR
33
34 The well-known methanol catalyst – copper-zinc-alumna – was tested to produce
35
36
methanol by direct methane conversion in a dielectric barrier discharge. The CZAs
37
ev
38
39 catalysts displayed higher activity and better performance to produce methanol than
40
41 non-catalytic plasma process. The existence of CZA increased the selectivity and yields
iew
42
43 of methanol. Yttrium, also Pt and Fe, was found to be the best addition for the
44
45
46 conventional CZA system in the plasma process for methanol synthesis.
