The effect of Li and La on NiO/Al2O3 catalyst for CH4/O2 to syngas reaction

The thermal stability and an 80 h life test over nickel-based catalysts for CH₄/O₂ to syngas reaction were investigated by flow-reactor, XPS, XRD and AAS analysis. The results indicate that the introduction of Li and La not only stabilized the support γ-Al₂O₃ phase, but also suppressed the sintering and loss of nickel, and in addition, enhanced the ability to suppress the carbon-deposition over NiO/Al₂O₃ during the high-temperature reaction.     

Carbon dioxide reforming of methane over Ni/Mo/SBA-15-La2O3 catalyst: Its characterization and catalytic performance

The Ni/Mo/SBA-15 catalyst was modified by La2O3 in order to improve its thermal stability and carbon deposition resistance during the CO2 reforming of methane to syngas. The catalytic performance, thermal stability, structure, dispersion of nickel and carbon deposition of the modified and unmodified catalysts were comparatively investigated by many characterization techniques such as N2 adsorption, H2-TPR, CO2-TPD, XRD, FT-IR and SEM. It was found that the major role of La2O3 additive was to improve the pore structure and inhibit carbon deposition on the catalyst surface. The La2O3 modified Ni/Mo/SBA-15 catalyst possessed a mesoporous structure and high surface area. The high surface area of the La2O3 modified catalysts resulted in strong interaction between Ni and Mo-La, which improved the dispersion of Ni, and retarded the sintering of Ni during the CO2 reforming process. The reaction evaluation results also showed that the La2O3 modified Ni/Mo/SBA-15 catalysts exhibited high stability.     

Influence of support on resistance to carbon-deposition of catalyst for CH4, CO2 with O2 to synthesis gas

In the reaction of catalytic oxidation of CH4,CO2 with O2 to synthesis gas, carbon-deposition is an important factor for deactivation. By adding different oxides to Ni/AI2O3 catalyst, its resistance to carbon-deposition was improved. The experimental results indicate that the order of resistance to carbon-deposition is as follows: Ni/CaO-AI2O3>Ni/MgO-AI2O3>Ni/ TiO2-AI2O3>Ni/CeO2-AI2O3>Ni/La2O3-AI2O3>Ni/Y2O3-AI2O3>Ni/Fe2O3-AI2O3>Ni/AI2O3. The catalysts were characterized by CO2-TPD, O2-TPD and XPS methods. Here the relation between the order of resistance to carbon-deposition and performance of catalyst is discussed.     

Study of CO2 Hydrogenation to Methanol over Cu-V/γ-Al2O3 Catalyst

The effect of vanadium addition to CU/γ-Al2O3 catalyst used in the hydrogenation of CO2 to produce methanol was studied. It was found that the catalytic performance of the Cu-based catalyst improved after V addition. The influence of reaction temperature, space velocity and the molar ratio of H2 to CO2 on the performance of 12%Cu-6%V/γ-Al2O3 catalyst were also studied. The results indicated that the best conditions for reaction were as follows: 240℃, 3600 h-1 and a molar ratio of H2 to CO2 of 3:1. The results of XRD and TPR characterization demonstrated that the addition of V enhanced the dispersion of the supported CuO species, which resulted in the enhanced catalytic performance of CU-V/γ-Al2O3 binary catalyst.     

Preparation of bimetallic CoO-MoO3/γ-Al2O3 and NiO-MoO3/γ-Al2O3 hydrodesulfurization catalysts by deposition of Co, Ni and Mo onto α-AlOOH during paste processing

CoO-MoO₃/γ-Al₂O₃ and NiO-MoO₃/γ-Al₂O₃ catalysts were prepared by the reaction of α-boehmite (α-AlOOH) with MoO₃ in an aqueous paste, followed by the reaction of the MoO₃/α-AlOOH catalyst with Co(OH)₂·CoCO₃ or 2NiCO₃·3Ni(OH)₂·4H₂O in an aqueous paste, and by subsequent drying and/or calcination. The deposited MoO₃ functioned as a thermal stabilizer inhibiting the sintering of the Al₂O₃ phase during calcination. The deposited Co and Ni were efficient activity promoters in benzothiophene hydrodesulfurization.

Effect of promoters on the catalytic performance of Ni/Al2O3 catalyst for partial oxidation of methane to syngas

The effect of promoters such as Ce, La and Ca on catalytic performance of Ni catalyst was measured in a continuous fixed bed reactor. The effect of promoters on Ni/a-Al₂O₃ catalyst is more significant than on Ni/g-Al₂O₃ catalyst. Ce was proved to be the best promoter among the three promoters tested and the optimum loading of Ce was 1%. The catalyst was characterized by TG, XPS, TPR and XRD techniques. TPR results showed that Ce can improve the reducibility of the Ni/Al₂O₃ catalyst. XRD results indicated that Ce was highly dispersed when its loading was low, but at higher loading it was crystallized into bulk CeO₂, thus, decreased the catalytic activity.

Methane-fueled SOFC with traditional nickel-based anode by applying Ni/Al2O3 as a dual-functional layer

Novel γ-Al₂O₃ supported nickel (Ni/Al₂O₃) catalyst was developed as a functional layer for Ni–ScSZ cermet anode operating on methane fuel. Catalytic tests demonstrated Ni/Al₂O₃ had high and comparable activity to Ru–CeO₂ and much higher activity than the Ni–ScSZ cermet anode for partial oxidation, steam and CO₂ reforming of methane to syngas between 750 and 850 °C. By adopting Ni/Al₂O₃ as a catalyst layer, the fuel cell demonstrated a peak power density of 382 mW cm^?2 at 850 °C, more than two times that without the catalyst layer. The Ni/Al₂O₃ also functioned as a diffusion barrier layer to reduce the methane concentration within the anode; consequently, the operation stability was also greatly improved without coke deposition.     

Catalytic Performance and Characterization of Pt‐Co/Al2O3 Catalysts for CO2 Reforming of CH4 to Synthesis Gas

Pt‐Co/Al₂O₂ catalyst has been studied for CO₂ reforming of CH₄ to synthesis gas. It was found that the catalytic performance of me catalyst was sensitive to calcination temperature. When Co/Al₂O₃ was calcined at 1473 K prior to adding a small amount of Pt to it, the resulting bimetallic catalyst showed high activity, optimal stability and excellent resistance to carbon deposition, which was more effective to the reaction than Co/Al₂O₃ and Pt/Al₂O₃ catalysts. At lower metal loading, catalyst activity decreased in the following order: Pt‐Co/ Al₂O₃ > Pt/Al₂O₃ > Co/Al₂O₃. With 9% Co, the Co/Al₂O₃ calcined at 923 K was also active for CO₂ reforming of CH₄, however, its carbon formation was much more fast man that of the Pt‐Co/Al₂O₃ catalyst. The XRD results indicated that Pt species well dispersed over the bimetallic catalyst. Its high dispersion was related to the presence of CoAl₂O₄, formed during calcining of Co/Al₂O₃ at high temperature before Pt addition. Promoted by Pt, Co/Al₂O₄ in the catalyst could be reduced partially even at 923 K, the temperature of pre‐reduction for the reaction, confirmed by TPR. Based on these results, it was considered that the zerovalent platinum with high dispersion over the catalyst surface and the zerovalent cobalt resulting from Co/Al₂O₄ reduction are responsible for high activity of the Pt‐Co/Al₂O₃ catalyst, and the remain Co/Al₂O₄ is beneficial to suppression of carbon deposition over the catalyst.     

Vapor phase hydrofluorination of acetylene to vinyl fluoride over La2O3-Al2O3 catalysts

A series of La-doped Al₂O₃ catalysts were prepared and tested for the vapor phase hydrofluorination of C₂H₂ to vinyl fluoride (CH₂CHF, VF). It was found that the La-doped catalyst gave a stable catalytic performance and a higher selectivity to the desired VF and a lower selectivity to coke deposition compared with the pure Al₂O₃ catalyst. The enhancement in VF selectivity on the La-doped catalyst was due to the elimination of acidic sites on the Al₂O₃ surface by the addition of La₂O₃, evidenced by NH₃-TPD results, which could also explain the declined selectivity to coke deposition on the catalyst. Raman result indicated there were two different vibration forms of CH distortion and CC expansion for the coke deposition.     

TiO2-Al2O3载体的制备方法对其负载的磷化镍催化剂加氢脱氮反应性能的影响

采用共沉淀法和原位溶胶-凝胶法制备了TiO₂-Al₂O₃复合载体,其负载的磷化镍催化剂采用等体积浸渍法和H₂原位还原法制备. 通过N₂吸附（BET）、X射线衍射（XRD）、透射电镜（TEM）、程序升温还原（TPR）,X射线光电子能谱（XPS）和等离子体发射光谱（ICP-AES）表征技术对催化剂进行了表征,并通过喹啉的加氢脱氮反应评价了催化剂的加氢脱氮性能. 结果表明,原位溶胶-凝胶法制成的复合载体基本保留了原有的γ-Al₂O₃的孔特征,具有较大的比表面积和较宽的孔分布,TiO₂主要以表面富集的形式分散在管状的γ-Al₂O₃表面,其负载的磷化镍催化剂还原后所形成的活性相为Ni₂P和Ni₁₂P₅;而共沉淀法制成的复合载体比表面积较小,孔径分布更加集中,TiO₂趋于在块状的Al₂O₃表面均匀分散,其负载的磷化镍催化剂具有更好的可还原性,还原后所形成的活性相为Ni₂P. 不同的载体制备方法和不同的钛铝比对催化剂加氢脱氮性能影响较大,当n（Ti）/n（Al）=1/8时,共沉淀法载体负载的催化剂表现出最佳的加氢脱氮性能,在340 ℃,3 MPa,氢油体积比500,液时空速3 h^-1的反应条件下,喹啉的脱氮率可以达到91.3%.

This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

The influence of La2O3 and TiO2 on NiO/MgO/α-Al2O3

Summary The effect of La₂O₃ and TiO₂ on product selectivity, methane conversion and coke formation over NiO/MgO/ α -Al₂O₃ catalyst were studied in a simultaneous steam and CO₂ reforming of methane to syngas. La₂O₃ and TiO₂ were added to the catalyst via incipient wetness impregnation and bulk precipitation techniques and catalyst activity was tested in a fixed bed quartz reactor. Results reveal that although the addition of these oxides has no effect on the product selectivity and methane conversion, but can reduce coke formation on the surface of the catalysts as it can enhance the mobility of lattice oxygen anions. The results further show that the catalysts prepared by bulk precipitation technique decrease the coke formation more effectively.     

Influence of Pd-Ce interaction and chlorine ion on hydrodesulfurization reaction: The activity and sulfur tolerance of the Pd-Ceo2/Al2O3 catalyst

CeO₂ promoted palladium catalysts supported on Al₂O₃ were prepared using the impregnation (IM) and the deposition-precipitation (DP) methods. The activities and sulfur tolerance of the catalysts for hydrodesulfurization (HDS) were detected with thiophene HDS as probe reaction. H₂ adsorption, XRD, FTIR, NH₃-TPD, XPS were used to characterize the catalysts. The Pd-CeO₂/Al₂O₃ (IM) catalyst was highly active for the HDS reaction, and it had much stronger sulfur tolerance than the Pd/Al₂O₃ catalyst. Pd-CeO₂/Al₂O₃ (DP) showed excellent sulfur tolerance while its initial activity decreased. It was observed that with the chlorine bridge, the interfacial structure of Pd-Cl⁻¹-Ce³⁺ was responsible for the high activity of the Pd-CeO₂/Al₂O₃ (IM) catalyst, at the same time the interaction of Pd with Ce was weakened by Cl₋₁ ions. The enhanced sulfur tolerance over the Pd-CeO₂/Al₂O₃ (IM) catalyst was attributed to the weakened Pd-S bond caused by the competitive adsorption of H₂S on Ce³⁺ ions. As to the Pd-CeO₂/Al₂O₃ (DP) catalyst, a strong interaction of Pd with Ce put Pd at an electron-deficient state, the creation of sulfided palladium was therefore inhibited.
