Hydrogen production by partial oxidation of methanol (POM) (CH3OH+0.5O2→2H2+CO2) was examined over Au/CuO/ZnO (Au 3wt.%, Cu 37wt.% and Zn 60wt.%) catalysts, prepared by the co-precipitation method. The activity of Au/CuO/ZnO catalysts has been compared with that of CuO/ZnO (Cu 40wt.% and Zn 60wt.%) catalysts. The catalysts were characterized by XRD, TEM and TPR analyses. The Au/CuO/ZnO catalysts are more active and exhibit higher hydrogen selectively with smaller amount of CO compared to the CuO/ZnO catalysts. The enhanced activity of Au/CuO/ZnO catalyst is due to the strong interaction between Au and CuO species as evidenced by TPR analysis. The influence of calcination temperature on the catalytic activity of Au/CuO/ZnO catalyst depends on crystalline phases of support and particle size of Au and CuO present on the catalysts. The optimum calcination temperature is 573K. The catalytic performance at various reaction temperatures shows that at 448K the reaction sets on with O2completely consumed. A high hydrogen selectivity of 97.7% is attained at 523K with 100% methanol conversion. The undesired by-product, CO is formed in very small amount throughout the temperature range studied.
