MoP/Al2O3 as a novel catalyst for sulfur‐resistant methanation

We reported γ‐alumina supported molybdenum phosphide (MoP) catalysts as a novel catalyst for sulfur‐resistant methanation reaction. The precursors of the catalyst were prepared by impregnation method and the effect of reduction temperatures (550 °C, 600 °C, 650 °C) of the precursors for sulfur‐resistant methanation was examined. The results indicated catalyst obtained by lower reduction temperature delivered better sulfur‐resistant methanation performance. Meanwhile, the influence of H₂/CO ratios and H₂S content was also investigated. The results indicated that high H₂/CO ratio and low H₂S content was favorable for methanation of MoP catalysts. The catalysts were characterized by N₂ adsorption–desorption, XRD, XPS and TEM. The results confirmed that the MoP phase was formed on all the catalysts and the physicochemical properties of the samples influenced the performance for sulfur‐resistant methanation.     

Ni/Al2O3 catalysts for CO methanation: Effect of Al2O3 supports calcined at different temperatures

The correlation between phase structures and surface acidity of Al₂O₃ supports calcined at different temperatures and the catalytic performance of Ni/Al₂O₃ catalysts in the production of synthetic natural gas (SNG) via CO methanation was systematically investigated. A series of 10 wt% NiO/Al₂O₃ catalysts were prepared by the conventional impregnation method, and the phase structures and surface acidity of Al₂O₃ supports were adjusted by calcining the commercial γ-Al₂O₃ at different temperatures (600–1200 °C). CO methanation reaction was carried out in the temperature range of 300–600 °C at different weight hourly space velocities (WHSV = 30000 and 120000 mL·g^?1·h^?1) and pressures (0.1 and 3.0 MPa). It was found that high calcination temperature not only led to the growth in Ni particle size, but also weakened the interaction between Ni nanoparticles and Al₂O₃ supports due to the rapid decrease of the specific surface area and acidity of Al₂O₃ supports. Interestingly, Ni catalysts supported on Al₂O₃ calcined at 1200 °C (Ni/Al₂O₃-1200) exhibited the best catalytic activity for CO methanation under different reaction conditions. Lifetime reaction tests also indicated that Ni/Al₂O₃-1200 was the most active and stable catalyst compared with the other three catalysts, whose supports were calcined at lower temperatures (600, 800 and 1000 °C). These findings would therefore be helpful to develop Ni/Al₂O₃ methanation catalyst for SNG production.     

柠檬酸对MoO3/CeO2-Al2O3催化剂耐硫甲烷化性能的影响

将柠檬酸（CA）作为络合剂添加至CeO₂-Al₂O₃复合载体中,并考察了CA对MoO₃/CeO₂-Al₂O₃催化剂耐硫甲烷化性能的影响。活性评价结果显示,催化剂活性随柠檬酸添加量的增大而增大,当n（CA）/n（Ce）为3时,CO转化率可达60%。催化剂BET、XRD、H₂-TPR及XPS等表征结果表明,在CeO₂-Al₂O₃复合载体中加入CA,可以增大载体及催化剂的比表面积,使Mo物种分散性提高。同时,CA对Ce物种起络合作用,致使催化剂表面Ce元素含量明显增加,进而减弱了活性组分Mo物种与载体间相互作用力,并最终导致了催化剂活性的提升。     

耐硫甲烷化中H2S浓度对MoO3/Al2O3和CoO-MoO3/Al2O3催化剂的影响

在0 到12 mL·L^-1 (体积分数φ=0.00%-1.20%) 范围内考察了不同H₂S 浓度对25% (质量分数, w)MoO₃/Al₂O₃和5% (w) CoO-25%MoO₃/Al₂O₃催化剂甲烷化性能的影响. 结果表明, 5%CoO-25%MoO₃/Al₂O₃的甲烷化活性随H₂S浓度的增加单调上升, 而25%MoO₃/Al₂O₃对H₂S浓度并不敏感. 对比这两种催化剂发现, 只有在H₂S浓度高于0.40% (φ) 时, 在25%MoO₃/Al₂O₃中添加Co助剂才会有促进作用; H₂S浓度低于0.40% (φ)时, Co助剂会抑制25%MoO₃/Al₂O₃催化剂的甲烷化活性. 分别对反应前后的催化剂表征发现, H₂S浓度的改变不会对两种催化剂的物理结构产生明显的影响, 而是通过影响催化剂表面的金属硫化物活性位来影响催化剂的甲烷化性能. 耐硫甲烷化反应体系中较高的硫含量下Co助剂才表现出对25%MoO₃/Al₂O₃催化剂的促进作用. 该研究明确了在MoO₃/Al₂O₃催化剂中添加Co助剂的硫化氢浓度范围, 为工业上选择合适的催化剂提供了依据.     

Effects of Mo2C loading and H2S concentration on Mo2C/Al2O3 catalyst applied in sulfur‐resistant methanation

Mo₂C/Al₂O₃ catalyst was prepared by the impregnation method with urotropine and ammonium paramolybdate. The catalytic effect of Mo₂C as a typical transition‐metal carbide in sulfur‐resistant methanation was studied. The catalysts prepared were characterized by N₂ adsorption–desorption, X‐ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, H₂‐temperature‐programmed reduction, and Raman spectra, with the results confirming the formation of β‐molybdenum carbide on the surface of the catalysts. Studies on catalysts with different loading doses indicate that the optimal loading of Mo₂C/Al₂O₃ is about 15 wt.%, which enables CO conversion rate of up to 47%, with methane selectivity of up to 53%. This work further explored the effect of different concentrations of H₂S in the raw gas on the performance of the catalyst, with the results showing that high concentration of H₂S (>1500 ppm) can lead to sulfuration of active species on the catalyst, while resulting in a decrease in the catalytic activity.     

制备条件对MoS2/Al2O3耐硫甲烷化催化剂性能的影响

本文研究了前驱体MoO_3的负载量、浸渍温度和焙烧温度等制备条件对Mo S2/Al_2O_3耐硫甲烷化催化剂性能的影响,并通过XRD和H2-TPR表征了催化剂的物相和还原性能。结果表明,随着负载量增加,MoO_3与Al_2O_3间的相互作用增强,Al2(Mo O4)3相增多,导致催化剂更难被还原硫化,MoO_3还原温度升高。浸渍温度对CO转化率和CH4选择性有一定的影响,浸渍温度为70℃时,MoO_3的生成增多,且还原温度最低,CO转化率较高,而CH4选择性和CO_2选择性变化不大。随着焙烧温度升高,CO转化率先升高后降低,对CH4和CO_2选择性影响不大,其中以450℃焙烧的CO转化率最高,600℃焙烧的CO转化率最低。当焙烧温度在400~450℃时,Al2(Mo O4)3和Mo4O11的特征峰基本上消失,能够完全生成MoO_3,且结晶度较好。因此,合适的焙烧温度为400~450℃。     

ZrO2助剂对Ni/SiO2催化剂CO甲烷化催化活性及其吸附性能的影响

采用连续流动微反装置和原位漫反射红外光谱法考察了Ni/SiO₂及添加ZrO₂助剂的Ni/ZrO₂-SiO₂催化剂CO甲烷化催化活性和吸附性能。结果表明,在CO体积分数 1%、空速 5000h^-1、常压的反应条件下,200℃时Ni/ZrO₂-SiO₂催化剂可将CO完全转化。而相同反应条件下Ni/SiO₂催化剂上CO的转化率仅为35%,直至270℃时方可将CO完全转化。由此可见,ZrO₂助剂的添加明显提高了Ni/ZrO₂-SiO₂催化剂的CO甲烷化催化活性。同时,ZrO₂助剂的添加显著提高了Ni/ZrO₂-SiO₂催化剂对CO的吸附能力,H₂存在时可通过在较低温度时形成较多的桥式羰基氢化物来提高Ni/ZrO₂-SiO₂催化剂的CO甲烷化催化活性;CO甲烷化反应条件下,Ni/SiO₂和Ni/ZrO₂-SiO₂催化剂上C-O键的削弱和断裂是经由羰基氢化物 多氢羰基氢化物的途径,而不是经由C-O键的直接断裂途径。     

临CO_2气氛下钼基催化剂耐硫甲烷化性能研究

在反应温度550℃、空速5 000 h~(-1)和1.2%H_2S浓度下,考察了反应气中添加CO_2对负载型Mo基催化剂甲烷化活性的影响。结果表明,添加CO_2会促进逆水煤气变换反应,从而降低Mo O_3/Al2O_3催化剂的耐硫甲烷化活性。与Mo O_3/Al2O_3催化剂相比,添加CO_2对铈铝复合载体负载的Co-Mo双组分催化剂的影响较小。通过表征发现,添加CO_2引起催化剂活性下降的主要原因是由于其增强了逆水煤气变换反应过程,使甲烷化过程可用氢气量减小。另外,逆水煤气变换反应生成的水会影响催化剂表面结构和组成。在连续加入10%CO_220 h后停止加入CO_2,催化剂的耐硫甲烷化活性可以得到恢复,因此,认为CO_2加入量低于10%时,对催化剂及甲烷化反应的影响是可逆的;但CO_2加入量大于10%后由于生成的水量增大会破坏催化剂的结构并减少活性位,从而造成催化剂的不可逆失活。     

Effects of CeO_2 preparation methods on the catalytic performance of MoO_3/CeO_2 toward sulfur-resistant methanation

CeO_2 supports were prepared by calcination or precipitation method and 5% MoO_3/CeO_2 catalysts were prepared by incipient-wetness impregnation method. The catalytic performance of the 5% MoO_3/CeO_2 catalysts toward sulfur-resistant methanation was investigated. The results showed that the Mo/Ce-1 catalysts with CeO_2 support prepared by calcination method exhibited the best sulfur-resistant methanation activity and stability with CO conversion as high as 75% while the Mo/Ce-3 catalysts the poorest. The supports and catalysts were characterized by N_2-adsorption–desorption, temperature-programmed reduction(TPR), X-ray diffraction(XRD), Raman spectroscopy(RS) and scanning electron microscope(SEM). The results indicated that the saturated monolayer loading MoO_3 on Ce-3 support was lower than 5% and there were some crystalline MoO_3 particles on the surface of the Mo/Ce-3. The preparation method of CeO_2 had a big influence on the specific surface area, the crystalline of CeO_2, and the catalytic performance of the corresponding Mo-based catalyst for sulfur-resistant methanation.     

TiO2对Ni/Al2O3催化剂CO甲烷化性能的影响

采用溶胶凝胶法制备了一系列不同TiO₂含量的TiO₂-Al₂O₃复合载体,并通过浸渍法制备了NiO/TiO₂-Al₂O₃催化剂。分别考察了不同TiO₂含量的NiO/TiO₂-Al₂O₃催化剂及反应温度对CO甲烷化催化性能的影响。实验结果表明,当复合载体中TiO₂质量分数为30%,反应温度为350～450 ℃时,催化剂催化活性较高。利用N₂吸附-脱附(BET)、X射线衍射(XRD)及H₂程序升温还原(H₂-TPR)等手段对催化剂物化性能进行了表征。结果表明,加入适量的TiO₂能抑制镍铝尖晶石NiAl₂O₄物种的生成,改善NiO的表面分散性能,避免大晶粒NiO的形成,也改善了催化剂的还原性能,从而提高催化剂的CO甲烷化活性。     

Catalytic methanation reaction over alumina supported cobalt oxide doped noble metal oxides for the purification of simulated natural gas

A series of alumina supported cobalt oxide based catalysts doped with noble metals such as ruthenium and platinum were prepared by wet impregnation method.The variables studied were difference ratio and calcination temperatures.Pt/Co(10∶90)/Al2O3 catalyst calcined at 700 ℃ was found to be the best catalyst which able to convert 70.10% of CO2 into methane with 47% of CH4 formation at maximum temperature studied of 400 ℃.X-ray diffraction analysis showed that this catalyst possessed the active site Co3O4 in face-centered cubic and PtO2 in the orthorhombic phase with Al2O3 existed in the cubic phase.According to the FESEM micrographs,both fresh and spent Pt/Co(10∶90)/Al2O3 catalysts displayed small particle size with undefined shape.Nitrogen Adsorption analysis showed that 5.50% reduction of the total surface area for the spent Pt/Co(10∶90)/Al2O3 catalyst.Meanwhile,Energy Dispersive X-ray analysis(EDX) indicated that Co and Pt were reduced by 0.74% and 0.14% respectively on the spent Pt/Co(10∶90)/Al2O3catalyst.Characterization using FT-IR and TGA-DTA analysis revealed the existence of residual nitrate and hydroxyl compounds on the Pt/Co(10∶90)/Al2O3 catalyst.     

碱土Sr对Co/Al2O3催化剂甲烷部分氧化反应的影响

以γ-Al₂O₃为载体,采用共浸渍法制备了Sr-Co/Al₂O₃系列催化剂,研究了助剂Sr对Co/Al₂O₃催化剂上甲烷部分氧化(POM)制合成气反应的影响,并利用N₂物理吸附、X射线衍射、H₂-程序升温还原和热重等技术对催化剂的理化性质进行了表征。结果表明,未添加助剂的Co/Al₂O₃和800℃焙烧的Sr-Co/Al₂O₃催化剂在POM反应初期催化活性很低,然而,当添加Sr的质量分数高于2%时,催化剂表现出很好的催化活性和稳定性。焙烧后的新鲜催化剂上主要存在两类Co物种,一类是与载体相互作用较弱、易被H₂还原为单质的Co₃O₄;另一类是与载体相互作用较强、难还原、无催化活性的CoAl₂O₄尖晶石。在焙烧过程中,Sr易形成Sr₄Al₁₄O₂₅,从而削弱Co与Al₂O₃之间的相互作用,能在一定程度上抑制CoAl₂O₄物种的形成,提高催化剂的稳定性和活性。未添加Sr的Co/Al₂O₃在反应时易发生物相改变生成尖晶石,导致催化剂迅速失活;但当焙烧温度达到800℃时,添加有限量的Sr还是无法阻止CoAl₂O₄的产生。     

氧化锆改性的Ni/LaAl11O18用于CO甲烷化反应:催化剂结构对催化性能的影响

对于煤制天然气,CO甲烷化技术起着重要作用,其研究核心之一是高效催化剂的开发.目前,CO甲烷化催化剂主要采用金属Ni作为活性组分,但存在高温易烧结和易积炭等问题.因此,如何使其同时具有较高的催化活性和高温稳定性是亟待解决的问题.针对这些问题,本文以高热稳定性的六铝酸镧(LaAl11O18)为载体,采用浸渍法担载金属镍,制备了Ni/LaAl11O18催化剂;以高化学惰性的ZrO2为包覆层,采用改进的连续吸附反应法,将ZrO2前驱体液相沉积在Ni/LaAl11O18表面进行改性,制备了具有包覆结构的Ni/LaAl11O18@ZrO2甲烷化催化剂.探讨了ZrO2在Ni/LaAl11O18表面的分布形式以及不同沉积包覆量对催化剂结构、CO甲烷化催化剂活性和稳定性的影响.分别采用氮气物理吸附、X射线衍射、透射电镜、扫描电镜、氢气程序升温还原、氢气程序升温脱附、X射线光电子能谱、热重分析和电感耦合等离子体原子发射光谱法等手段对催化剂进行了系统表征.结果表明,ZrO2纳米粒子能够同时分布在催化剂活性组分和载体表面,增加了金属?载体间相互作用力,高温还原时可以有效抑制活性金属Ni的烧结,成功构筑了具有显著限域结构的包覆型催化剂.同时,ZrO2的包覆不利于金属的氢气化学吸附.在常压,260?600 oC和120 L g?1h?1条件下对催化剂进行了催化活性测试.结果显示,与未改性的催化剂相比,包覆后催化剂上CO转化率略有降低,但是其CH4选择性明显提高,适量的ZrO2包覆对CH4得率有较好的促进作用,但是过量的ZrO2包覆会因占据过多的金属镍表面使得CO转化率显著降低.在常压,550 oC和120 L g?1h?1空速的操作条件下所进行的107 h稳定性测试结果表明,包覆型Ni/LaAl11O18@ZrO2催化剂展示了良好的高温稳定性,具有优异的抗烧结和抗积碳性能.这主要是因为包覆型催化剂具有良好的"限域"效应,从而显著改善了催化剂的抗烧结性能;同时较强的金属?载体相互作用以及ZrO2助剂对CO2的活化提升了催化剂的消碳能力,增强了Ni/LaAl11O18@ZrO2催化剂的抗积碳能力.总之,本文构筑了一种高稳定性的包覆型催化剂Ni/LaAl11O18@ZrO2,可广泛应用到其他多种高温反应中.     

助剂对甲烷部分氧化制合成气镍基催化剂性能的影响

考察了添加助剂铈、镧和钙对镍基催化剂反应性能的影响，发现助剂对以α-Al2O3为载体的镍基催化剂的调变作用比以γ-Al2O3为载体的镍基催化剂好，且助剂铈对催化剂的性能改善最好。在此基础上，研究了不同载量的铈对催化剂性能的影响。结果表明，铈的质量分数为1%时对催化剂的性能改善最好。同时采用XRD、XPS、TG等技术，研究了助剂铈对10％Ni/γ-Al2O3催化剂的改性作用。XRD分析表明，铈负载量较低时，催化剂中的CeO2高度分散在催化剂表面，铈负载量较高时，CeO2形成微晶颗粒，降低了催化活性。     

Al2O3性质对加氢脱硫催化剂Co-Mo/Al2O3活性相形成的影响

以两种商用Al2O3为载体,制备了汽油选择性加氢脱硫催化剂Co-Mo/Al2O3,并采用红外光谱、X射线衍射、N2吸附-脱附、透射电镜、扫描透射-能谱和X射线光电子能谱等手段系统研究了载体物化性质对催化剂活性相形成的影响.结果表明,表面羟基数量少和结晶程度高的载体与活性金属间相互作用减弱,促进了Mo物种的硫化还原,使MoS2片晶的尺寸和层数增加,且其硫化态催化剂上CoMoS活性位更多,CoMoS/MoS2比更大,因而显著提高了相应Co-Mo催化剂加氢脱硫活性和选择性.     

The effect of citric acid on the catalytic activity of nano‐sized MoS2 toward sulfur‐resistant CO methanation

In this work, a facile hydrothermal route was used to prepare nano‐sized MoS₂ catalyst. The effect of citric acid during the MoS₂ preparation process on the catalytic activity of sulfur‐resistant CO methanation was investigated. It was found that citric acid played an adverse role on the catalytic activity of MoS₂ toward sulfur‐resistant CO methanation. However, CO methanation performance turned out to be better when NH₂OH?HCl as a reductant was removed during the catalyst preparation process. The X‐ray diffraction (XRD) and infrared spectroscopy (IR) were performed to discuss the possible mechanism for the effect of citric acid towards CO methanation performance.     

助剂对Co/Al2O3催化剂浆态床费托合成反应性能影响

考察了ZrO₂、Ru或Pt助剂对Co/Al₂O₃催化剂结构及浆态床费托合成反应性能的影响。实验结果表明,添加ZrO₂助剂可阻止或降低难还原铝酸钴的形成、促进催化剂的还原、提高Co/Al₂O₃催化剂对费托合成反应的催化活性、降低甲烷选择性并提高C₅₊烃选择性。H₂-TPR表征结果表明,少量Ru或Pt助剂均能降低Co-ZrO₂/Al₂O₃催化剂中钴物种还原温度(Co₃O₄→CoO和CoO→Co⁰),提高催化剂的还原度,催化剂呈现出良好的CO加氢反应活性。此外,催化剂组分间浸渍次序对费托合成反应性能有重要影响,载体γ-Al₂O₃先浸渍Zr组分,可有效抑制难还原化合物形成;Co、Ru组分共浸渍加强了Co和Ru组分密切接触程度,更利于钴物种的还原;Co、Pt组分依次浸渍更利于活性组分的均匀分布,催化剂具有最佳的费托合成反应性能。     

制备条件对Ni/ZrO2-SiO2催化剂煤气甲烷化的影响

采用浸渍法制备了ZrO₂-SiO₂复合载体和Ni质量分数为6%的Ni/ZrO₂-SiO₂催化剂,考察了载体制备时浸渍溶液pH值、焙烧温度和催化剂制备时的焙烧温度对Ni/ZrO₂-SiO₂催化剂煤气甲烷化反应性能的影响。采用X射线衍射、程序升温还原和扫描电子显微镜等方法对催化剂进行了表征。结果表明,载体浸渍溶液pH值为8.0～9.0, 载体焙烧温度为550 ℃,催化剂焙烧温度为450 ℃时,Ni/ZrO₂-SiO₂催化剂在煤气甲烷化反应中显示了最优的催化性能,CO转化率100%,CO₂转化率1.8%,CH₄生成速率16.6 mmol/(h·g)。进一步表征发现,制备ZrO₂-SiO₂复合载体时,增大浸渍溶液的pH值有利于形成粒径较小的亚稳态四方晶相ZrO₂,可见四方晶相ZrO₂更有利于甲烷化反应;载体焙烧温度会影响到NiO粒径的大小和其在催化剂表面的分散,温度过高和过低都会导致NiO粒径大小的不适宜以及分散性的降低;催化剂焙烧温度过高则会导致NiO与载体间的相互作用减弱,NiO分散性降低。     

Promotion effect of additive Fe on Al2O3 supported Ni catalyst for CO2 methanation

In this paper, the effect of additive Fe on Ni/Al₂O₃ catalyst for CO₂ methanation was studied. A series of bimetallic Ni–Fe catalysts with different Ni/Fe ratios were prepared by impregnation method. For comparison, monometallic Fe‐based and Ni‐based catalysts were also prepared by the same method. The characterization results showed that adding Fe to Ni catalyst on the premise of a low Ni loading(≦12 wt.%) enhanced CO₂ methanation performance. However, when the Ni loading reached 12 wt.%, the catalytic activity decreased with the increase of Fe content, but still higher than the corresponding Ni‐based catalyst without Fe. Among them, the 12Ni3Fe catalyst exhibited the highest CO₂ conversion of 84.3 % and nearly 100% CH₄ selectivity at 50000 ml g^‐1 h^‐1 and 420 °C. The enhancement effect of adding Fe on CO₂ methanation was attributed to the dual effect of suitable electronic environment and increased reducibility generated by Fe species.     

β-Mo_2C和Ni_3Mo_3N/β-Mo_2C的制备及其甲烷化反应性能研究

通过焙烧钼酸铵和六次甲基四胺(HMT)生成的络合物,制备β-Mo_2C。在此基础上加入Ni助剂制备了Ni_3Mo_3N/β-Mo_2C双金属碳化物催化剂。采用XRD、SEM、HRTEM、低温氮吸附、元素分析等方法对催化剂进行了表征,考察了其合成气甲烷化反应性能。结果表明,β-Mo_2C有较高的CO转化率,但CO转化率和CH_4选择性分别从第10h的75.93%和36.79%降低到了第100h的67.41%和33.54%。因此,β-Mo_2C活性不够稳定且CH_4选择性较低。而Ni助剂的加入显著提高了催化剂的甲烷化活性及稳定性,使CO转化率和CH_4选择性分别从第10h的83.15%和46.64%升高到了第100h的92.51%和57.23%。这是因为Ni助剂的加入有助于生成Ni_3Mo_3N,新生成的Ni_3Mo_3N有利于甲烷化反应。
