载体类型对Ni基催化剂甲烷干重整反应性能的影响

以不同载体负载NiO制备了甲烷干重整催化剂并对所制备的催化剂采用等温氮气吸附、XRD、H₂-TPR、H₂化学吸附等进行了表征。结果表明,载体性质对NiO的存在状态影响较大。SiO₂、TiO₂以及ZrO₂与NiO的相互作用较弱,催化剂易于被还原活化,而正是由于其与NiO的弱相互作用,导致活性金属在反应过程中易迁移聚集而失活。Al₂O₃和MgO均与NiO有强相互作用,易分别生成NiAl₂O₄尖晶石和NiO-MgO固溶体,导致其难以被还原活化。经MgO改性的Al₂O₃载体不仅具有较大的比表面积,而且与NiO的相互作用强度适中,这有利于NiO的分散和稳定,以其为载体制备的催化剂在较高空速下表现出优异的催化反应活性和稳定性,催化剂连续稳定运行100h不失活。     

氧化锆担载镍甲烷干重整催化剂的载体形貌效应

煤层气是储量十分丰富的煤炭伴生资源,也是煤炭开采中最大的安全隐患之一,同时还是重要的温室气体.研究煤层气的高效、清洁资源化利用具有资源和环境双重意义.因此,世界主要产煤国均十分重视煤层气的开发和利用.煤层气的主要成分是甲烷,目前主要通过两种方式实现其资源化利用:(1)直接转化,主要通过氧化偶联、催化氧化官能团化或脱氢芳构化等途径将其转化为高碳烃、含氧化合物及芳烃等;(2)间接转化,甲烷首先经催化重整反应制取合成气,而后再经Fischer-Tropsch合成、甲醇化和氢甲酰化等过程来合成饱和烃、烯烃、甲醇及其他含氧化物.对于前者,由于热力学限制,反应收率很低,应用前景较差,而经由合成气这一平台产物的间接转化路线被认为是一条甲烷资源化利用颇具工业前景的转化路线.因此,甲烷催化重整制合成气备受关注.研究表明,贵金属具有较好的甲烷重整催化性能,但其储量有限、价格昂贵的内在缺陷不利于甲烷大规模转化和资源化利用.Ni基催化剂具有与贵金属可比的催化活性和选择性,且其储量丰富,价格低廉,因此在甲烷重整反应中备受青睐.但是,相对于贵金属,Ni基催化剂易于积碳和烧结失活,这已成为制约其大规模工业化应用的瓶颈.迄今,大量文献报道关注如何提高Ni基催化剂的催化稳定性.而载体形貌调控是调节负载型催化剂的有效途径.本文开展了用作载Ni催化剂的氧化锆载体的形貌调控研究,以期可以有效调节载Ni催化剂的物化性质,进而调控载Ni催化剂的甲烷重整催化性能.采用水热法成功制备了松球状和鹅卵石状的单斜相氧化锆载体,进一步负载镍,制备了载镍催化剂,用于甲烷重整制合成气反应.具有分级结构的松球状氧化锆载Ni催化剂(Ni/ZrO2-ipch)展示出比鹅卵石状氧化锆和常规氧化锆纳米粒子载Ni催化剂显著好的催化活性和稳定性.采用XRD、N2吸附、TEM、H2-TPR、CO化学吸附、CO2-TPD、XPS和TGA等手段研究了松球状氧化锆载Ni催化剂高催化活性和稳定性的原因和机制.发现,其较高的催化活性主要归因于高的Ni分散度、改善的可还原性、促进的氧流动性以及较多的碱性位和较强的碱性,这些物化性质依赖于氧化锆载体的独特形貌.分级结构的松球状氧化锆载Ni催化剂高的甲烷重整催化稳定性主要源于催化剂的高抗烧结、抗积碳性能.加强的金属载体效应和介孔限域效应可以阻止金属Ni的高温烧结,而优良的抗积碳稳定性主要源于催化剂良好的氧流动性、较多的碱性位、较强的碱性以及小的Ni粒子尺寸.鉴于分级结构松球状氧化锆载Ni催化剂高的催化活性和优良的抗积碳、抗烧结稳定性,该催化剂用于甲烷重整制合成气具有广阔前景.而所制备的分级结构松球状氧化锆由于具有独特的结构和优良的热稳定性,可以作为性能优良的载体用于其他反应,尤其对于高温转化过程可望表现出明显优势.

Effect of Ni loadings on the activity and coke formation of MgO-modified Ni/Al2O3 nanocatalyst in dry reforming of methane

MgO-modified Ni/Al₂O₃ catalysts with different Ni loadings were prepared and employed in dry reforming of methane (DRM). The effect of Ni loadings on the activity and coke formation of Ni/MgO-Al₂O₃ catalysts were investigated. The synthesized catalysts were characterized by XRD, N₂ adsorption-desorption, SEM, TPO and TPR techniques. The obtained results showed that increasing nickel loading decreased the BET surface area and increased the catalytic activity and amount of deposited carbon. In addition, the effect of gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) and feed ratio were studied.     

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%.     

Autothermal reforming of methane over Ni catalysts supported over ZrO2-CeO2-Al2O3

Ni catalysts supported on Al2O3, ZrO2-Al2O3, CeO2-Al2O3 and ZrO2-CeO2-Al2O3 were prepared by coprecipitation method, and their catalytic performances for autothermal reforming of methane to hydrogen were investigated. The Ni-supported catalysts were characterized by XRD, TPR and XPS. The relationship between the structures and catalytic activities of the catalysts was discussed. The results showed that the catalytic activity and stability of the Ni/ZrO2-CeO2-Al2O3 catalyst was better than those of other catalysts with the highest CH4 conversion, H2/CO and H2/COx ratio at 750 ℃. The catalyst showed a little deactivation along the reaction time during its 72 h on stream with the mean deactivation rate of 0.08%/h. The catalytic performance of the Ni/ZrO2-CeO2-Al2O3 catalyst was also affected by reaction temperature, no2 ： nCH4 molar ratio and nH2O ： nCH4 molar ratio. TPR, XRD and XPS measurements indicated that the formation of ZrO2-CeO2 solid solution could improve the dispersion of NiO, and inhibit the formation of NiAl2O3, and thus significantly promoted the catalytic activity of the Ni/ZrO2-CeO2-Al2O3 catalyst.     

Effect of CeO2 on the catalytic performance of Ni/Al2O3 for autothermal reforming of methane

The effect of promoter Ce on the catalytic performance of Ni/Al2O3 catalyst for autothermal reforming of methane to hydrogen was investigated. The catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction （XRD）, temperature-programmed reduction （TPR）, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS）. The results indicated that the catalytic performance of the catalysts was improved with the addition of Ce. Ni/Ce30Al70Oδ showed the highest CH4 conversion in operation temperatures ranging from 650 ℃ to 850 ℃. At the same time, the decrease in H2/CO ratio with increasing reaction temperature was consistent with the fact that water-gas shift reaction was thermodynamically unfavorable at higher temperatures. The XRD result indicated that adding Ce to Ni/Al2O3 catalyst prevented the formation of NiAl2O4 and facilitated the formation of NiO. The formation of NiO increased the number of active sites, resulting in higher activity. Comparing the TPR profiles of Ni/Ce30Al70Oδ with Ni/Al2O3, it could be clearly observed that with the addition of Ce, the total reduction peak areas in the middle and low temperatures increased. It was most probably that the addition of Ce inhibited the stronger interaction between Ni and Al2O3 to form the phase of NiAl2O4, and favored the formation of the strong interaction between NiO species and CeO2. Therefore, the addition of Ce to the Ni/Al2O3 catalyst increased the active surface that promoted the activity of the catalyst.     

Supported Co catalysts for methane reforming with CO2

Co/-Al₂O₃ catalysts prepared at different calcination temperatures were tried in methane reforming with CO₂ and characterized by XRD, H₂-TPR and coking reaction via CH₄ temperature-programmed decomposition. Characterizations indicated that the surface species of Co, reforming activity and coke formation rate strongly depended on calcination temperature and reduction time.This revised version was published online in December 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Catalytic performance of cement clinker supported nickel catalyst in glycerol dry reforming

The paper reports the development of cement clinker-supported nickel （with metal loadings of 5 wt%, 10 wt%, 15 wt% and 20 wt%） catalysts for glycerol dry （CO2） reforming reaction. XRF results showed that CaO constituted 62.0% of cement clinker. The physicochemical characterization of the catalysts revealed 32-folds increment of BET surface area （SBET） with the addition of nickel metal into the cement clinker, which was also corroborated by FESEM images. Significantly, XRD results suggested different types of Ni oxides formation with Ni loading, whilst Ca3SiO5 and Ca2Al0.67Mn0.33FeO5 were the main crystallite species for pure cement clinker. Temperature-programmed reduction analysis yielded three domains of H2 reduction peaks, viz. centered at approximately 750 K referred to as type-Ⅰ peaks, another peaks at 820 K denoted as type-Ⅱ peaks and the highest reduction peaks, type-Ⅲ recorded at above 1000 K. 20 wt% Ni was found to be the best loading with the highest XG and H2 yield, whilst the lowest methanation activity. Syngas with lower H2/CO ratios （0.6 to 1.5） were readily produced from glycerol dry reforming at CO2-to-Glycerol feed ratio （CGR） of unity. Nonetheless, carbon deposit comprised of whisker type （Cv） and graphitic-like type （Cc） species were found to be in majority on 20 wt%Ni/CC catalysts.
