在Ni/HZSM-5催化剂上低温水蒸汽重整生物油制氢

We investigated high catalytic activity of Ni/HZSM-5 catalysts synthesized by the impregna-tion method, which was successfully applied for low-temperature steam reforming of bio-oil. The influences of the catalyst composition, reforming temperature and the molar ratio of steam to carbon fed on the stream reforming process of bio-oil over the Ni/HZSM-5 catalysts were investigated in the reforming reactor. The promoting effects of current passing through the catalyst on the bio-oil reforming were also studied using the electrochemical catalytic re-forming approach. By comparing Ni/HZSM-5 with commonly used Ni/Al₂O₃ catalysts, the Ni₂₀/ZSM catalyst with Ni-loading content of about 20% on the HZSM-5 support showed the highest catalytic activity. Even at 450 oC, the hydrogen yield of about 90% with a near complete conversion of bio-oil was obtained using the Ni₂₀/ZSM catalyst. It was found that the performance of the bio-oil reforming was remarkably enhanced by the HZSM-5 supporter and the current through the catalyst. The features of the Ni/HZSM-5 catalysts were also investigated via X-ray diffraction, inductively coupled plasma and atomic emission spectroscopy, hydrogen temperature-programmed reduction, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller methods.     

Hydrogen production by steam reforming of glycerol over Ni/Ce/Cu hydroxyapatite-supported catalysts

Hydroxyapatite-supported Ni-Ce-Cu catalysts were synthesised and tested to study their potential for use in the steam reforming of glycerol to produce hydrogen. The catalysts were prepared by the deposition-precipitation method with variable nickel, cerium, and copper loadings. The performance of the catalysts was evaluated in terms of hydrogen yield at 600°C in a tubular fixed-bed microreactor. All catalysts were characterised by the BET surface area, XRD, TPR, TEM, and FE-SEM techniques. The reaction time was 240 min in a fixed-bed reactor at 600°C and atmospheric pressure with a water-to-glycerol feed molar ratio of 8: 1. It was found that the Ni-Ce-Cu (3 mass %-7.5 mass %-7.5 mass %) hydroxyapatite-supported catalyst afforded the highest hydrogen yield (57.5 %), with a glycerol conversion rate of 97.3 %. The results indicate that Ni/Ce/Cu/hydroxyapatite has great potential as a catalyst for hydrogen production by steam reforming of glycerol.

Mesoporous Nickel–Alumina Catalysts for Hydrogen Production by Steam Reforming of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG)

Recent progress on the mesoporous nickel–alumina catalysts for hydrogen production by steam reforming of liquefied natural gas (LNG) was reported in this review. A number of mesoporous nickel–alumina composite catalysts were prepared by a single-step surfactant-templating method using cationic, anionic, and non-ionic surfactant as structure-directing agents for use in hydrogen production by steam reforming of LNG. For comparison, nickel catalysts supported on mesoporous aluminas were also prepared by an impregnation method. The effect of preparation method and surfactant identity on physicochemical properties and catalytic activities of mesoporous nickel–alumina catalysts in the steam reforming of LNG was investigated. Regardless of preparation method and surfactant identity, nickel oxide species were finely dispersed on the surface of mesoporous nickel–alumina catalysts through the formation of surface nickel aluminate phase. However, nickel dispersion and nickel surface area of mesoporous nickel–alumina catalysts were strongly affected by the preparation method and surfactant identity. It was found that nickel surface area of mesoporous nickel–alumina catalyst served as one of the important factors determining the catalytic performance in hydrogen production by steam reforming of LNG. Among the catalysts tested, a mesoporous nickel–alumina composite catalyst prepared by a single-step non-ionic surfactant-templating method exhibited the best catalytic performance due to its highest nickel surface area.     

Derivatization of secondary amines with 2-naphthalene-sulfonyl chloride for high-performance liquid chromatographic analysis of spectinomycin

A normal-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method has been developed for the assay of spectinomycin hydrochloride and spectinomycin sulfate for detection at 254 nm. The method involves pre-column derivatization of secondary amines of spectinomycin with 2-naphthalenesulfonyl chloride (NSCl) using a catalyst. Lincomycin, 1-methylpyrrole, 2-acetyl-1-methylpyrrole, and 2-acetyl-pyrrole act as catalysts for sulfonylation of spectinomycin. Without a catalyst, the derivatization reaction forms a considerable amount of actinospectinoic acid, a degradation compound of spectinomycin, and peak area:weight ratio of the derivative is approximately 15% lower than those with the catalyst. Following derivatization the sample is extracted and chromatographed on a normal-phase silica column with detection at 254 nm. The method is applicable for the analysis of both the hydrochloride and sulfate salt forms of spectinomycin. All the known degradation compounds of spectinomycin such as actinamine, actinospectinoic acid and the biosynthesis intermediates, dihydrospectinomycin diastereoisomers, are completely separated with this method. Mass spectrometric data confirms that spectinomycin is derivatized with NSCl at the secondary amines located at positions 6 and 8 of the ring structure. The standard curves for the HPLC assay of spectinomycin hydrochloride and sulfate are linear with correlation coefficients of 0.9997 and 0.9999, respectively over the range of 0.05 mg/ml to 0.3 mg/ml. The relative standard deviations (R.S.D.) of the HPLC assay methods for spectinomycin hydrochloride and sulfate are 0.67% and 0.86%, respectively. Spectinomycin hydrochloride and sulfate bulk drugs were assayed by the HPLC method and compared to gas-liquid chromatography and microbiological assay results. The HPLC method was used to assay spectinomycin in a veterinary formulation, Linco-Spectin soluble powder. The sensitivity of the HPLC assay was determined to be approximately 4 ng sample load on the column, which suggests applicability in serum and residue level studies.

Structured Catalysts Prepared by Electroless Plating Technique onto a Metal Substrate, for a Wall-Type Hydrogen Production System

This article reviews our works on the structured catalysts for a wall-type hydrogen production system including methanol steam reforming (MSR), CO shift reaction (CO SR) and methanol decomposition (MD). The structured catalysts were copper-based, palladium-based and nickel-based catalysts. Such a series of structured catalysts were prepared by the electroless plating technique that is a novel method for preparing a structured type catalyst onto a metal-substrate. The copper-based catalyst exhibited high performance for MSR and CO SR, the palladium-based catalyst high for MSR, and the nickel-based catalyst high for MD. The catalytic properties of these catalysts were affected by the difference of the plating condition and the pretreatment condition prior to the reaction. In the copper-based catalyst, the reforming and shift activities were enhanced by the oxidation treatment. One of the factors of such activity enhancement by the oxidation was thought to be in close proximity existence of copper and zinc atoms. A lot of monodentate-type formate species having high reactivity was formed on the oxidized catalyst, which would be correlated to the activity enhancement. In the palladium-based catalyst, the reforming activity was improved by the continuous reduction treatment followed by the oxidation. Such continuous pretreatment formed the PdZn alloy species thought to be a reforming site in the surface layer. The decomposition performance of the nickel-based catalyst depended on the ratio of the crystallite size of nickel particles to that of aluminum particles. The electronic influence of zinc and phosphorous components incorporated in the plated layer contributed to the improvement of the selectivity of product.     

Support Modification of Supported Nickel Catalysts for Hydrogen Production by Auto-thermal Reforming of Ethanol

Recent progress on support modification of supported nickel catalysts for hydrogen production by auto-thermal reforming of ethanol was reported in this review. Nickel catalysts supported on various materials, including metal oxides and metal oxide-stabilized mesoporous zirconias, were prepared by an incipient wetness impregnation method for use in hydrogen production by auto-thermal reforming of ethanol. Various experimental measurements such as NH₃-TPD (temperature-programmed desorption) and TPR (temperature-programmed reduction) were carried out to elucidate the different catalytic performance of supported nickel catalysts. It was revealed that acid property of supporting materials served as one of the important factors determining the catalytic performance. Hydrogen yield over nickel catalysts supported on metal oxides showed a volcano-shaped curve with respect to acidity of the supports. Among the catalysts tested, Ni/ZrO₂ catalyst with an intermediate acidity exhibited a superior catalytic performance. It was also observed that reducibility of nickel catalysts supported on metal oxide-stabilized mesoporous zirconias played a key role in determining the catalytic performance in the auto-thermal reforming of ethanol for hydrogen production. Hydrogen yield over nickel catalysts supported on metal oxide-stabilized zirconias increased with increasing reducibility of the catalysts (with decreasing TPR peak temperature of the catalysts).     

Steam reforming of glycerol over Pt-MCM-41 synthesized in a one-step process

Pt-MCM-41 materials were synthesized by a simple method via simultaneous self-assembling and Pt incorporation using cetyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTAC) as a structure directing agent. Structural characterization of the sample was carried out by N₂ sorption, XRD and TEM measurements. The highly ordered structure of MCM-41 was not appreciably affected by the formation of the Pt particles. Unlike related results, the Pt nanoparticles were incorporated into the mesopores and embedded into the pore walls as framework. The Pt-MCM-41 sample was tested as a catalyst in the steam reforming of glycerol in which it exhibited moderate activity, high selectivity to hydrogen, and very low selectivity to light alkanes.     

Catalytic steam reforming of model compounds of biomass pyrolysis liquids in fluidized bed reactor with modified Ni/Al catalysts

Catalytic steam reforming of acetic acid and hydroxyacetone (acetol) as model compounds of the aqueous fraction of bio-oil (biomass derived pyrolysis liquids) was studied in fluidized bed reactor over Ni/Al catalysts modified with calcium or magnesium. Attrition tests showed that the use of small quantities of these promoters improved the mechanical strength of the reforming catalyst. An optimum Ca/Al molar ratio of 0.12 and a Mg/Al molar ratio of 0.26 leaded to attrition rates of 0.22 and 0.27 wt%/h, respectively. Steam reforming experiments were performed at 650 °C and a steam to carbon molar ratio (S/C) of 5.58. The promoted catalysts showed different acetic acid steam reforming activities depending on the Ca/Al or Mg/Al molar ratios. Magnesium modified catalysts with a Mg/Al molar ratios of 0.26 and 0.50 showed good performances with almost no activity loss with time in contrast to the calcium modified catalysts that showed higher CO and CH₄ yields. The addition of calcium generated a NiO phase with less interaction with the support. The highest H₂ yield and carbon conversion in acetic steam reforming were obtained by a magnesium promoted catalyst with a Mg/Al ratio of 0.26, while the nonpromoted Ni/Al catalyst showed the best performance in acetol steam reforming. Then, the nature of the organic compound influenced the performance of the different catalysts.     

Characterization of La-promoted Ni/Al2O3 catalysts for hydrogen production from glycerol dry reforming

In the current paper, dry (CO₂)-reforming of glycerol, a new reforming route, was carried out over alumina (Al₂O₃)-supported, non-promoted and lanthanum-promoted nickel (Ni) catalysts. Both sets of catalysts were synthesized via a wet co-impregnation procedure. Physicochemical characterization of the catalysts showed that the promoted catalyst possessed smaller metal crystallite size, hence higher metal dispersion compared to the virgin Ni/Al₂O₃ catalyst. This was also corroborated by the surface images captured by the FESEM analysis. From temperature-programmed calcination analysis, the derivative weight profiles revealed two peaks, which represent a water elimination peak at a temperature range of 373 to 473 K followed by nickel nitrate decomposition from 473 to 573 K. In addition, BET surface area measurements gave 85.0 m²·g⁻¹ for the non-promoted Ni catalyst, whilst the promoted catalysts showed an average of 1% to 6% improvement depending on the La loadings. Significantly, reaction studies at 873 K showed that glycerol dry reforming successfully produced H₂. The 2%La-Ni/Al₂O₃ catalyst, which possessed the largest BET surface area, gave an optimum H₂ generation (9.70%) at a glycerol conversion of 24.5%.

CH4-CO2 reforming to syngas over Pt-CeO2-ZrO2/MgO catalysts: Modification of support using ion exchange resin method

Pt-CeO2-ZrO2/MgO (Pt-CZ/MgO) catalysts with 0.8 wt% Pt, 3.0 wt% CeO2 and 3.0 wt% ZrO2 were prepared by wet impregnation method. Support MgO was obtained using ion exchange resin method or using commercial MgO. XRD, BET, SEM, TEM, DTA-TG and CO2-TPD were used to characterize the catalysts. CH4-CO2 reforming to synthesis gas (syngas) was performed to test the catalytic behavior of the catalysts. The catalyst Pt-CZ/MgO-IE(D) prepared using ion exchange resin exhibits more regular structure, smaller and more unique particle sizes, and stronger basicity than the catalyst Pt-CZ/MgO prepared from commercial MgO. At 1073 K and atmospheric pressure, Pt-CZ/MgO-IE(D) catalyst has a higher activity and greater stability than Pt-CZ/MgO catalyst for CH4-CO2 reforming reaction at high gas hourly space velocity of 36000 mL/(g·h) with a stoichiometric feed of CH4 and CO2. Activity measurement and characterization results demonstrate that modification of the support using ion exchange resin method can promote the surface structural property and stability, therefore enhancing the activity and stability for CH4-CO2 reforming reaction.     

Effect of preparation method on structural characteristics and propane steam reforming performance of Ni–Al2O3 catalysts

Propane steam reforming was studied over Ni–Al₂O₃ catalysts that were prepared by a conventional impregnation (IM) method and a one-step sol–gel (SG) technique. Both Ni–Al₂O₃ catalysts showed similar initial activity. However, IM-Ni–Al₂O₃ deactivated severely with time-on-stream of propane steam reforming. The catalyst prepared using a SG technique demonstrated stable catalytic performance. The two catalysts also showed major differences in product distribution, with SG catalyst giving much higher yields of hydrogen. Catalysts were characterized with temperature-programmed reduction (TPR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), temperature-programmed oxidation (TPO), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy. It was revealed that, with sol–gel preparation, highly dispersed small Ni crystallites are formed with a strong interaction with the support. This is shown to be important for coke suppression and catalyst stability.
