Ni/Al_2O_3催化剂的CO_2-TPD表征

Ni/Al_2O_3催化剂是甲烷二氧化碳重整反应制取合成气研究最多、最具应用潜力的一种催化剂。通过对催化剂进行CO_2-TPD研究,考察还原态Ni/Al_2O_3催化剂的CO_2脱附特性。结果表明,浸渍法制备的Ni/Al_2O_3催化剂CO_2脱附曲线呈现双峰,分别在(60~65)℃和(350~380)℃出现高低温两个活性位;高温CO_2吸附量为3.0 cm~3·g~(-1),低温CO_2吸附量为24.0 cm~3·g~(-1)。催化剂的CO_2吸附量与其Ni含量无关。考察选用不同载体的CO_2脱附行为,发现以Al_2O_3为载体的催化剂CO_2吸附量是MgO和SiO_2为载体催化剂的2~4倍,以TiO_2为载体的催化剂几乎不吸附CO_2。     

K-, CeO2-, and Mn-promoted Ni/Al2O3 catalysts for stable CO2 reforming of methane

Reforming of methane with carbon dioxide into syngas over Ni/γ-Al₂O₃ catalysts modified by potassium, MnO and CeO₂ was studied. The catalysts were prepared by impregnation technique and were characterized by N₂ adsorption/desorption isotherm, BET surface area, pore volume, and BJH pore size distribution measurements, and by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The performance of these catalysts was evaluated by conducting the reforming reaction in a fixed bed reactor. The coke content of the catalysts was determined by oxidation conducted in a thermo-gravimetric analyzer. Incorporation of potassium and CeO₂ (or MnO) onto the catalyst significantly reduced the coke formation without significantly affecting the methane conversion and hydrogen yield. The stability and the lower amount of coking on promoted catalysts were attributed to partial coverage of the surface of nickel by patches of promoters and to their increased CO₂ adsorption, forming a surface reactive carbonate species. Addition of CeO₂ or MnO reduced the particle size of nickel, thus increasing Ni dispersion. For Ni–K/CeO₂–Al₂O₃ catalysts, the improved stability was further attributed to the oxidative properties of CeO₂. Results of the investigation suggest that stable Ni/Al₂O₃ catalysts for the carbon dioxide reforming of methane can be prepared by addition of both potassium and CeO₂ (or MnO) as promoters.     

CO2 reforming of methane to syngas over highly active and stable Pt/MgO catalysts

Pt/MgO catalysts were prepared by wet impregnation. At 800 °C and atmospheric pressure, Pt/MgO catalysts exhibited a high stability at high gas hourly space velocity of 36,000 ml/g h with a CH₄/CO₂ ratio of 1.0. During 72 h time on stream, the conversion of CH₄ and CO₂ remained almost constant, at about 88% and 90%, respectively. There was no loss of Pt. After reaction, the XRD peaks of MgO became broader, indicating amorphization of MgO, which was supported by TEM results. XPS indicated that the reforming reaction had little influence on Pt. CO₂-TPSR results showed that some carbon deposition occurred under stoichiometric feed of CH₄ and CO₂, but it did not result in the deactivation of the catalyst. The deposited carbon came mainly from the decomposition of methane.     

Photocatalytic conversion of CH4 and CO2 to oxygenated compounds over Cu/CdS–TiO2/SiO2 catalyst

Coupled semiconductor (CS) Cu/CdS–TiO₂/SiO₂ photocatalyst was prepared using a mutli-step impregnation method. Its optical property was characterized by UV–vis spectra. BET, XRD, Raman and IR were used to study the structure of the photocatalyst. Fine CdS was found dispersed over the surface of anatase TiO₂/SiO₂ substrate. Chemisorption and IR analysis showed methane absorbed in the molecular state interacted weakly with the surface of catalyst, and the interaction of CO₂ with CS produced various forms of absorbed CO₂ species that were primarily present in the form of formate, bidentate and linear absorption species. Photocatalytic direct conversion of CH₄ and CO₂ was performed under the operation conditions: 373 K, 1:1 of CO₂/CH₄, 1 atm, space velocity of 200 h⁻¹ and UV intensity of 20.0 mW/cm². The conversion was 1.47% for CH₄ and 0.74% for CO₂ with a selectivity of acetone up to 92.3%. The reaction mechanisms were proposed based on the experimental observations.

Tri-reforming of methane: a novel concept for catalytic production of industrially useful synthesis gas with desired H2/CO ratios

A novel process concept called tri-reforming of methane has been proposed in our laboratory using CO₂ in the flue gases from fossil fuel-based power plants without CO₂ separation [C. Song, Chemical Innovation 31 (2001) 21–26]. The proposed tri-reforming process is a synergetic combination of CO₂ reforming, steam reforming, and partial oxidation of methane in a single reactor for effective production of industrially useful synthesis gas (syngas). Both experimental testing and computational analysis show that tri-reforming can not only produce synthesis gas (CO + H₂) with desired H₂/CO ratios (1.5–2.0), but also could eliminate carbon formation which is usually a serious problem in the CO₂ reforming of methane. These two advantages have been demonstrated by tri-reforming of CH₄ in a fixed-bed flow reactor at 850 °C with supported nickel catalysts. Over 95% CH₄ conversion and about 80% CO₂ conversion can be achieved in tri-reforming over Ni catalysts supported on an oxide substrate. The type and nature of catalysts have a significant impact on CO₂ conversion in the presence of H₂O and O₂ in tri-reforming in the temperature range of 700–850 °C. Among all the catalysts tested for tri-reforming, their ability to enhance the conversion of CO₂ follows the order of Ni/MgO > Ni/MgO/CeZrO > Ni/CeO₂ ≈ Ni/ZrO₂ ≈ Ni/Al₂O₃ > Ni/CeZrO. The higher CO₂ conversion over Ni/MgO and Ni/MgO/CeZrO in tri-reforming may be related to the interaction of CO₂ with MgO and more interface between Ni and MgO resulting from the formation of NiO/MgO solid solution. Results of catalytic performance tests over Ni/MgO/CeZrO catalysts at 850 °C and 1 atm with different feed compositions confirm the predicted equilibrium conversions based on the thermodynamic analysis for tri-reforming of methane. Kinetics of tri-reforming were also examined. The reaction orders with respect to partial pressures of CO₂ and H₂O are different over Ni/MgO, Ni/MgO/CeZrO, and Ni/Al₂O₃ catalysts for tri-reforming.     

Syngas production from methane reforming with CO2/H2O and O2 over NiO–MgO solid solution catalyst in fluidized bed reactors

Catalyst performance of NiO–MgO solid solution catalysts for methane reforming with CO₂ and H₂O in the presence of oxygen using fluidized and fixed bed reactors under atmospheric and pressurized conditions was investigated. Especially, methane and CO₂ conversion in the fluidized bed reactor in methane reforming with CO₂ and O₂ was higher than those in the fixed bed reactor over Ni_0.15Mg_0.85O catalyst under 1.0 MPa. In contrast, conversion levels in the fluidized and fixed bed reactor were almost the same over MgO-supported Ni and Pt catalysts. It is suggested that the promoting effect of catalyst fluidization on the activity is related to the catalyst reducibility. On a catalyst with suitable reducibility, the oxidized and deactivated catalyst can be reduced with the produced syngas and the reforming activity regenerates in the fluidized bed reactor during the catalyst fluidization. In addition, the catalyst fluidization inhibited the carbon deposition.     

MnOx/Pt/Al2O3 catalysts for CO oxidation in H2-rich streams

The catalytic activity of Pt on alumina catalysts, with and without MnO_x incorporated to the catalyst formulation, for CO oxidation in H₂-free as well as in H₂-rich stream (PROX) has been studied in the temperature range of 25–250 °C. The effect of catalyst preparation (by successive impregnation or by co-impregnation of Mn and Pt) and Mn content in the catalyst performance has been studied. A low Mn content (2 wt.%) has been found not to improve the catalyst activity compared to the base catalyst. However, catalysts prepared by successive impregnation with 8 and 15 wt.% Mn have shown a lower operation temperature for maximum CO conversion than the base catalyst with an enhanced catalyst activity at low temperatures with respect to Pt/Al₂O₃. A maximum CO conversion of 89.8%, with selectivity of 44.9% and CO yield of 40.3% could be reached over a catalyst with 15 wt.% Mn operating at 139 °C and λ = 2. The effect of the presence of 5 vol.% CO₂ and 5 vol.% H₂O in the feedstream on catalysts performance has also been studied and discussed. The presence of CO₂ in the feedstream enhances the catalytic performance of all the studied catalysts at high temperature, whereas the presence of steam inhibits catalysts with higher MnO_x content.     

ZrO2-Al2O3复合载体负载Ni基催化剂COx甲烷化性能

采用浸渍和粉末压片的方法制备了两种ZrO₂-Al₂O₃复合载体并用于负载Ni基催化剂，并利用氮气等温物理吸附、X射线粉末衍射（XRD）、H₂程序升温还原（H₂-TPR）、扫描电子显微镜（SEM）和透射电子显微镜（TEM）等分析手段对催化剂物化性质进行表征，考察了ZrO₂-Al₂O₃复合载体制备方法及ZrO₂的引入对Ni基催化剂在CO、CO₂和CO-CO₂共存的3种体系下甲烷化反应活性的影响。材料表征和活性测试结果表明，在CO甲烷化体系中，与单一Al₂O₃载体相比，引入ZrO₂的复合载体能有效提高催化剂中Ni物种的分散度从而增强CO甲烷化过程中催化剂活性，且粉末压片法较浸渍法制备的复合载体能有效提高催化剂的还原度，降低还原温度，但前者会大大降低催化剂的比表面积；在CO₂甲烷化体系中，当载体形貌和制备方法相同时，载体的变化对催化剂活性的影响较小，CO₂转化率主要受到制备方法不同引起的物理性质如比表面积变化的影响；在CO-CO₂共存体系中，由于CO在竞争吸附中比CO₂更容易占据活性位点，所以呈现出优先进行CO甲烷化再进行CO₂甲烷化、CO₂的含量先增多后减少的规律。     

不同硅铝比ZSM-5负载铁基催化剂二氧化碳加氢性能

CO₂加氢在铁基催化剂上直接制取高附加值化学品是实现其资源化利用的重要途径。通过等体积浸渍法制备了不同硅铝比（25,70,150）的ZSM-5负载的铁基催化剂,考察硅铝比对铁基催化剂上CO₂加氢性能的影响。结果表明,随着硅铝比的升高,催化剂活性先升高后降低,最优化硅铝比为70。CO₂-DRIFTS和CO₂-TPD结果显示,硅铝比为70的ZSM-5载体制备的催化剂具有较多且较强的表面碱性位,促进CO₂分子的活化解离。通过H₂-TPR、XRD、Raman等表征揭示了催化剂结构的演变过程。还原后催化剂的活性金属以单质Fe形式存在,反应过程中单质Fe向Fe₃O₄和FeC_x物种转化。不同硅铝比配位环境影响Fe与C的相互作用,影响FeC_x的生成,从而影响CO₂加氢的活性和选择性。     

Effects of identities of supports on Fe-based catalyst and their consequences on activities of CO2 hydrogenation to olefins

The direct synthesis of olefins by CO₂ hydrogenation with iron-based catalysts is one of the best ways to achieve CO₂ emission reduction and CO₂ conversion and utilization. At present, the CO₂ hydrogenation activity and structural strength of the iron-based catalysts are still relatively low during CO₂ hydrogenation process, which has become an important challenge for the industrialization of CO₂ hydrogenation to olefins. In this work, a series of the supported iron-based catalyst was prepared by the impregnation method to study the influence of the properties of support materials on the structure of iron-based catalysts and the reactivities of the direct synthesis of olefins from CO₂ hydrogenation. This work found that the support induced the iron species formed during the process of CO₂ hydrogenation, simultaneously affected the order degree of carbon species on the surface of iron-based catalyst, and tuned the capability of CO₂ adsorption and the activities of CO₂ activation. The results shown that the Fe-based catalyst supported on ZrO₂ exhibited the best catalytic performance for CO₂ hydrogenation to olefins at 320℃ and 2.0 MPa. The CO₂ conversion (>30%) and the selectivity of olefins in C₂—C₇ hydrocarbon products were as high as over 85%, the ratio of olefins to paraffins was 8.2, and the CO selectivity was 17.1%.     

载体对铁基催化剂结构及CO2加氢制烯烃反应性能的影响特性

铁基催化剂CO₂加氢直接合成烯烃是实现CO₂减排及CO₂转化与利用的最佳途径之一。目前铁基催化剂的CO₂加氢活性及反应过程中铁基催化剂结构强度仍然较低,成为CO₂加氢制烯烃产业化生产的重要挑战。通过浸渍法制备一系列负载型铁基催化剂,研究载体材料性质对铁基催化剂结构及CO₂加氢直接合成烯烃的影响特性。研究发现,载体可诱导铁基催化剂在CO₂加氢反应过程中形成的铁物种,同时影响铁基催化剂表面碳物种的有序度,调变对CO₂吸附及活化能力;研究结果表明ZrO₂负载的Fe催化剂展现出最佳的CO₂加氢合成烯烃催化性能,在温度320℃和反应压力2.0 MPa时,CO₂转化率>30%,C₂~C₇烃类产物中烯烃选择性高达85%以上,烯烷比为8.2,且CO选择性较低为17.1%。     

Ce改性Pd基整体式催化剂的结构特征及其甲烷催化燃烧性能

分别以拟薄水铝石和添加Ce的拟薄水铝石制备铝溶胶,经过堇青石（Cord）表面涂覆和Pd溶液浸渍,得到浸渍法和溶胶法Ce改性的Pd/γ-Al₂O₃/Cord整体式催化剂。采用XRD、SEM和XPS等对催化剂进行表征,评价其甲烷催化燃烧反应性能,并考察Ce的不同添加方式对催化剂结构和反应性能的影响。结果表明,适量Ce的添加可提高Pd基整体式催化剂的甲烷催化燃烧性能,溶胶法优于浸渍法。随着Ce添加量的增加,浸渍法改性的Pd基催化剂催化性能有所降低,溶胶法则呈现先升高后降低的趋势。溶胶法中Ce的添加物与γ-Al₂O₃涂层充分融合,提高了涂层的热稳定性和活性组分的分散度,0.5Pd/γ-Al₂O₃(3.0Ce)/Cord催化剂催化性能最优。     

Transient studies of carbon dioxide reforming of methane over Pt/ZrO2 and Pt/Al2O3

The mechanism of the CO₂ reforming of methane reaction over the Pt/ZrO₂ catalyst was investigated using a temporal analysis of products (TAP) reactor system. For comparative purposes, the reaction pathway using a Pt/Al₂O₃ catalyst was also examined. A reaction sequence is suggested for both catalysts. Over both catalysts, methane decomposition takes place over platinum. The main difference between the two catalysts concerns the carbon dioxide dissociation. Over Pt/Al₂O₃ this step is assisted by hydrogen. Over Pt/ZrO₂ this step takes place over the zirconia support and involves surface vacancies. Moreover, large pools of formate and carbonate species are present on the zirconia. Transient studies conducted to determine the origin of carbon species accumulated during CO₂ reforming revealed that more than 99% of the carbon was derived from the methane molecule over both catalysts. Over the Pt/ZrO₂ catalyst, only a single very reactive carbon species was detected, while over the Pt/Al₂O₃ a second less active species was also formed.     

超声辅助制备酸碱双功能CaO/HMCM-22分子筛催化剂

采用超声浸渍法制备了一系列CaO改性的HMCM-22分子筛催化剂,使用XRD、N₂物理吸附-脱附、SEM、FT-IR、NH₃-TPD及CO₂-TPD等技术对催化剂物化性质进行了表征。结果发现在超声作用下经CaO改性后MCM-22分子筛的结构没有发生变化;超声空化作用降低了催化剂晶粒之间的团聚,促进了CaO在分子筛表面的分散,增加了可接触的催化活性位;随着CaO负载量的增加,催化剂上碱强度和碱量显著增加,而强酸含量明显减少,弱酸酸位有所增加。对催化剂在Knoevenagel缩合反应中的催化性能研究表明：与传统浸渍法相比,超声浸渍法所制备催化剂的催化活性明显较高,在优化的超声条件下反应2 h苯甲醛转化率即可达88.3%。催化剂CaO/HMCM-22的催化性能优于HMCM-22和CaO/NaMCM-22,对Knoevenagel缩合反应体现出明显的酸碱协同催化作用。超声法制备的催化剂重复使用性能显著提升,经过5次重复使用后苯甲醛转化率仍保持在65%以上。     

Influence of the solid state properties of Pd/MOx (M = Ti, Al) catalysts in catalytic combustion of methane

The performance of Pd supported on alumina or titania, prepared by impregnation or sol–gel, for catalytic combustion of methane is studied. The addition of the Pd precursor after gelification of alumina has a beneficial effect on the catalytic properties of the catalysts. The better activity of the alumina catalysts is related to the high dispersion of the palladium particles, the low crystallite size and the high specific surface area. The catalytic activity of titania-based catalysts was only slightly affected by the preparation procedure. The addition of CO₂ during the oxidation of methane promotes oxidation for the titania-based catalysts.     

MgO/NaX zeolite as basic catalyst for oxidative methylation of toluene with methane

Oxidative methylation of toluene with methane was studied over a series of MgO/NaX zeolite catalysts. The effect of MgO on the zeolite was examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) of CO₂. The results indicated that the conversion, selectivity and yield of C₈ hydrocarbons (ethylbenzene and styrene) are significantly improved by impregnation of maximum 13 wt.% MgO into the zeolite. The latter catalyst also displays a good stability. It is found that the amount of active sites but not their strength depends on the content of MgO in the zeolite. The catalysts possess well preserved crystal structure and low amount of MgO crystal phase.     

Hydrogenation of CO2 over sprayed Ru/TiO2 fine particles and strong metal–support interaction

Ru/TiO₂ catalysts were prepared by spray reaction (SPR) and conventional impregnation (IMP) methods. The catalytic activities of SPR fine particles were much higher than those of IMP catalysts for CO₂ hydrogenation. A high temperature reduction greatly promoted the activity of SPR catalyst. A model of surface structure was proposed which exhibits the enhancement of decoration and the formation of more boundaries over spr-Ru/TiO₂. The high activity of SPR catalyst is attributed to the occurrence of new active sites at the metal–support perimeters and not any SMSI phenomenon. EXAFS reveals that the Ru atom was interacting with TiO₂ by oxygen atom so strongly on the SPR catalysts that a part of the Ru atoms, located near the internal interface between Ru particles and TiO₂ support, existed as Ruⁿ⁺ (n<4) cations even if SPR catalyst was subjected to a high temperature reduction. These Ruⁿ⁺ cations are responsible for the inhibition of SMSI formation over SPR catalysts.     

碱/碱土金属修饰Ni基催化剂的CO2吸附与甲烷化性能

采用分步浸渍法制备了碱/碱土金属修饰Ni基催化剂Ni-M/Al₂O₃ (M=K₂CO₃, Na₂CO₃, MgO, CaO)。探究了碱/碱土金属的添加对改性Ni基催化剂CO₂吸附和甲烷化性能的影响。研究发现,碱/碱土金属的添加提高了Ni/Al₂O₃催化剂表面的碱性活性位点密度,强化了其CO₂吸附性能。碱/碱土金属类型影响Ni-M/Al₂O₃催化剂碱性活性位点的分布、NiO物相的转化及Ni的分散度,进而影响其甲烷化性能。MgO添加使NiO物相转化为与载体呈强相互作用的β型和γ型NiO,降低了催化剂表面的强碱性活性位点比例,有利于CO₂吸附活化。Ni-MgO/Al₂O₃的CO₂吸附容量最高为0.68mmolCO₂/g,其CO₂转化率和CH₄选择性分别高达58.4%和95.4%,其在烟气CO₂捕集与原位甲烷化中极具应用前景。     

Catalytic selective reduction of NO with propylene over Cu-Al2O3 catalysts: influence of catalyst preparation method

NO reduction to N₂ by C₃H₆ was investigated and compared over Cu-Al₂O₃ catalysts prepared by four different methods, namely, the conventional impregnation, co-precipitation, evaporation of a mixed aqueous solution, and xerogel methods. It was found that the catalyst preparation method as well as the Cu content exerts a significant influence on catalyst activity. For the catalysts prepared by the first three preparation methods, with the increase of Cu content from 5 to 15 wt%, the maximum NO reduction conversion decreased slightly, but the temperature for the maximum NO reduction also decreased. For the xerogel Cu-Al₂O₃, there was a significant decrease in NO reduction conversion with the increase of Cu content from 5 to 10 wt%. In the absence of water vapour, the Cu-Al₂O₃ catalyst prepared by the impregnation method exhibited the highest activity toward NO reduction. The purity of alumina support was found to be a crucial factor to the activity of the Cu-Al₂O₃ catalyst prepared by impregnation. In the presence of water vapour, a substantial decrease in NO conversion was observed for the Cu-Al₂O₃ catalysts prepared by the first three methods, especially for the impregnated Cu-Al₂O₃ catalyst. In contrast, the presence of water vapour showed only a minor influence on the xerogel 5 wt% Cu-Al₂O₃ and it showed the highest activity for NO reduction in the presence of 20% water vapour. The xerogel 5 wt% Cu-Al₂O₃ catalyst was also found to be less affected by a 5 wt% sulfate deposition than the Cu-Al₂O₃ catalysts prepared by other methods.
