Ru/Ni/MgAl<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>4</Subscript> catalysts for steam reforming of methane: effects of Ru content on self-activation property

The effects of Ru on the self-reducibility of Ru-doped Ni/MgAl₂O₄ catalysts, which do not need pre-reduction treatment with H₂, were investigated in the steam reforming of methane (SRM). The Ru-promoted Ni/MgAl₂O₄ catalysts with various amounts of Ru (0–0.5 wt%) were prepared by stepwise impregnation and co-impregnation methods using hydrotalcite-like MgAl₂O₄ support. For comparison, Ru/MgAl₂O₄ catalysts with the same amount of Ru were also prepared by the impregnation method. The catalysts were characterized by the N₂-sorption, XRD, H₂-TPR, H₂-chemisorption, and XPS methods. Ni/MgAl₂O₄ catalyst in the presence of even the trace amount of Ru (Ru content ≥0.05 wt%) showed higher conversion without pre-reduction as compared to Ru/MgAl₂O₄ catalysts in SRM under the same conditions. The self-activation of Ru–Ni/MgAl₂O₄ catalysts is mainly attributed to the spillover of hydrogen, which is produced on Ru at first and then reduces NiO species under reaction conditions. Besides, Ru doping makes the reduction of NiO easier. The stepwise impregnated Ru/Ni/MgAl₂O₄ catalyst produced superior performance as compared to co-impregnated Ru–Ni/MgAl₂O₄ catalyst for SRM.     

Kinetics modeling for the mixed reforming of methane over Ni-CeO2/MgAl2O4 catalyst

Kinetics model was developed for the mixed (steam and dry) reforming of methane, which is useful for the control of H2/CO ratio. The equilibrium constants of reaction rate were determined using the experimental equilibrium data at different reaction temperatures, while the forward reaction rate constants were estimated using the experimental data under non-equilibrium (high inert fraction and high space velocity) conditions. The comparison between calculated and experimental data clearly showed that the developed model described satisfactorily, and further analysis using the parametric sensitivity determined the wall temperature and CO2 fraction in the feed gas as effective parameters for the manipulation of CH4 conversion and H2/CO ratio of synthesis gas under the equilibrium condition. Meanwhile, the inert fraction, rather than the residence time, was selected as additional parameter under non-equilibrium condition.     

A 1-Gb/s bidirectional I/O buffer using the current-mode scheme

A current-mode bidirectional I/O buffer was designed, and the maximum effective bandwidth of 1.0 Gb/s per wire was obtained from measurements. To enhance the operating speed, the voltage swing on the transmission line was reduced to 0.5 V and the internal nodes of the buffer were designed to be low impedance nodes using the current-mode scheme. An automatic impedance-matching scheme was used to generate bias voltages, which adjust output resistance of the buffer to be equal to the characteristic impedance of the transmission line in spite of process variations. The chip was fabricated by using a 0.8-μm CMOS technology. The chip size was 500×330 μm², and the power consumption was 50 mW at a supply voltage of 3 V
