Comparative study of Cu/ZnO catalysts derived from different precursors as a function of aging

Structural modifications of Cu/ZnO catalysts for methanol steam reforming (MSR) as a function of precipitate aging in catalysts preparation process has been investigated comparatively. Freshly precipitated Cu,Zn-hydroxycarbonate (HC) and Cu,Zn-hydroxynitrate (HN) were aged in their mother liquor fo...
