CO_2 Reforming of CH_4 over Ni/CeO_2-ZrO_2-Al_2O_3 Prepared by Hydrothermal Synthesis Method

The Ni/CeO2-ZrO2-Al2O3 catalyst with different Al2O3 and NiO contents were prepared by hydrothermal synthesis method. The catalytic performance for CO2 reforming of CH4 reaction, the interaction among components and the relation between Ni content and catalyst surface basicity were investigated. Results show that the interaction between NiO and Al2O3 is stronger than that between NiO and CeO2-ZrO2.The addition of Al2O3 can prevent the formation of large metallic Ni ensembles, increase the dispersion of Ni, and improve catalytic activity, but excess Al2O3 causes the catalyst to deactivate easily. The interaction between NiO and CeO2 results in more facile reduction of surface CeO2. The existence of a small amount of metallic Ni can increase the number of basic sites. As metallic Ni may preferentially reside on the strong basic sites, increasing Ni content can weaken the catalyst basicity.     

Preparation and catalytic performance of superfine Ni/BaTiO3 catalyst

Superfine Ni/BaTiO₃ catalysts were prepared by impregnation method and used successfully for CO₂ reforming CH₄ to syngas. The effects of preparation method and the temperatures of calcination, reduction and reaction on the catalytic activity of the Ni/BaTiO₃ system were investigated. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Parametric study of catalytic reforming process?

Summary A parametric study of catalytic reforming process in a pilot plant was carried out by varying the pressure, H₂/HC ratio, and space velocity. The results show that lower aromatics and higher hydrogen yields can be accomplished by increasing the space velocity in existing reformers, which will also result in better C₅⁺yield.

Studies of the Methane Steam Reforming Reaction at High Pressure in a Ceramic Membrane Reactor

The effects of temperature and pressure on the steam reforming of methane 3H2+CO) were investigated in a membrane reactor (MR) with a hydrogen permeable membrane. The studies used a novel silica-based membrane prepared by using the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technique with a permeance for H2 of 6.0×l0-8 mol·m-2·s-1·Pa-1 at 923 K. The results in a packed-bed reactor (PBR) were compared to those of the membrane reactor at various temperatures (773-923 K) and pressures (1-20 atm, 101.3-2026.5 kPa) using a commercial Ni/MgAl2O4 catalyst. The conversion of methane was improved significantly in the MR by the countercurrent removal of hydrogen at all temperatures and allowed product yields higher than the equilibrium to be obtained. Pressure had a positive effect on the hydrogen yield because of the increase in driving force for the permeance of hydrogen. The yield of hydrogen increased with pressure and reached a value of 73×10-6 mol·g-1·s-1 at 2026.5 kPa and 923 K which was higher by 108% than the value of 35×10-6 mol·g-1·s-1 obtained for the equilibrium yield. The results obtained with the silica-based membrane were similar to those obtained with various other membranes as reported in the literature.     

Steam Reforming Reactions of Methanol Over Nickel and Copper Catalysts

Steam-reforming reactions of methanol over NiO/Al₂O₃ and CuO/ZnO have been investigated. Over the nickel catalyst, the reaction rate is of zero kinetic order with respect to either methanol or steam, and the activation energy is 12.4 kJmol^?1, whereas with copper catalyst, the rate is expressed according to the literature as kP_a/(1 + K_aP_a + K_b+P_b) in which “a” and “b” are methanol and steam, respectively. The rate-controlling step of the reaction is assigned to the dissociation of O-H bond with dehydrogenation of C-H bond proceed rapidly to form carbon oxides. With copper catalyst the intrinsic participation of a water molecule during the dehydrogenation of C-H bond leads to the formation of carbon dioxide. With nickel catalyst, the dehydrogenation proceed more rapidly than the migration of a water molecule from an alumina site to a nickel site and causes almost exclusively the formation of carbon monoxide and hydrogen at a lower reaction temperature.     

Ni／γ—Al2O3,Ni／MgO,Ni／SiO2催化剂上甲烷与二氧化碳重整反应的研究

采用ＸＲＤ，ＵＶ－ＤＲＳ，ＸＰＳ，ＴＰＲ，Ｈ２－Ｏ２滴定和吡啶吸附－红外光谱等技术，研究了负载于具有不同酸碱性的γ－Ａｌ２Ｏ３，ＳｉＯ２，Ｍｇｏ载体上的镍催化剂表面物理化学性质，及其对甲烷与二氧化碳重整制取合成气反应催化活性的影响。结果表明，在上述负载型镍催化剂上，影响重整反应活性和积炭量的主要原因不是催化剂表面酸碱性，而是金属镍在催化剂表面的分散度。     

Computer modeling for analysis of complex reaction kinetics

A new method for computer prediction of the catalytic activity dependence on service life and technological conditions for bifunctional Pt catalysts has been proposed. The proposed method is based on physical and chemical laws of multicomponent hydrocarbon transformations on polymetallic catalysts and takes into account deactivation of acidic (Al) and metallic (Pt) sites. It allows to calculate the product composition and catalytic activity level for real industrial units as a function of their technological parameters and raw material characteristics.
