Ni catalysts with Mo promoter for methane steam reforming

NiO/Al₂O₃ catalyst precursors were prepared by simultaneous precipitation, in a Ni:Al molar ratio of 3:1, promoted with Mo oxide (0.05, 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 wt%). The solids were characterized by adsorption of N₂, XRD, TPR, Raman spectroscopy and XPS, then activated by H₂ reduction and tested for the catalytic activity in methane steam reforming.The characterization results showed the presence of NiO and Ni₂AlO₄ in the bulk and Ni₂AlO₄ and/or Ni₂O₃ and at the surface of the samples.In the catalytic tests, high stability was observed with a reaction feed of 4:1 steam/methane. However, at a steam/methane ratio of 2:1, only the catalyst with 0.05% Mo remained stable throughout the 500 min of the test.The addition of Mo to Ni catalysts may have a synergistic effect, probably as a result of electron transfer from the molybdenum to the nickel, increasing the electron density of the catalytic site and hence the catalytic activity.     

Steam reforming of ethanol over Pt–Ni Catalysts

A parametric study was conducted over Pt–Ni/δ-Al₂O₃ to explore the effect of Pt and Ni contents on the ethanol steam reforming characteristics of the bimetallic catalyst. Experiments with catalysts having 0.2–0.3 wt%Pt and 10–15 wt%Ni contents indicated that the best ethanol steam reforming performance is achieved over 0.3 wt%Pt–15 wt%Ni/δ-Al₂O₃. Kinetics of ethanol steam reforming was studied over this catalyst in the 673–823 K interval using differential and integral methods of data analysis. A power-function rate expression was obtained with reaction orders of 1.01 and −0.09 in ethanol and steam, respectively, and the apparent activation energy of ethanol steam reforming over 0.3 wt%Pt–15 wt%Ni/δ-Al₂O₃ was calculated as 59.3 ± 2.3 kJ mol⁻¹.     

Steam reforming of ethanol over Ni/support catalysts for generation of hydrogen for fuel cell applications

The paper reports experimental results concerning the influence of the support nature (TiO₂, ZnO, Al₂O₃ and Al₂O₃–Fe₂O₃) of nickel catalysts on their activity, selectivity and coking phenomenon in the steam reforming of ethanol in the range of 570–870 K. The chemical transformations of ethanol occurring on the catalyst support make its chemical nature an important factor affecting the productivity and selectivity of the process. It was found that the most suitable supports in nickel catalysts designed for hydrogen generation in the steam reforming of ethanol are ZnO and TiO₂. Taking into consideration both the efficiency of hydrogen generation and the intensity of carbon deposition, the optimum temperature of the process of the steam reforming of ethanol is below 750 K. An improvement in the selectivity of hydrogen generation and diminishing of the formation of undesirable products may be obtained by promoting nickel catalysts with sodium.     

Effect of silicates on the structure of Ni-containing catalysts obtained from hydrotalcite-type precursors

New nickel hydrotalcite-like compounds with silicates as interlayer anions used as catalyst precursors in the catalytic partial oxidation of methane were prepared by the coprecipitation method. The properties of these materials were compared with those of compounds obtained from carbonate-containing materials. The precursors and calcined samples were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, FT-IR and Vis/UV/NIR spectroscopies, thermal analyses (DTA and TG), temperature programmed reduction (TPR) and N₂ adsorption/desorption at −196 °C. The results show that the incorporation of silicates in the lamellar compounds modifies the structural and textural properties of the precursors. After calcination, silicates – which are non-volatile anions – contribute to the final structure of the catalysts, which form a new forsterite-like phase, increasing their specific surface area but not altering the reducibility of the nickel species.     

Steam reforming of methane under water deficient conditions over gadolinium-doped ceria

The catalytic properties of gadolinium-doped ceria (CGO) in methane steam reforming were studied. Catalytic tests were carried out between 750 and 900 °C, for H₂O/CH₄ ratios varying between 0.1 and 1, pretreated in H₂O/N₂, N₂ and H₂/N₂. Above 800 °C, slight deactivation with time on stream was observed except for the H₂-pretreated sample. Surface area measurements, O₂ adsorption at room temperature and O₂-temperature programmed oxidation experiments were performed after catalytic testing. Changes in both surface area and redox properties of CGO were observed and related to catalytic deactivation. Hydrogen is thought to play a key role in catalytic activity and deactivation process.     

Cobalt catalysts derived from hydrotalcite-type precursors applied to steam reforming of ethanol

Catalysts derived from Co/Mg/Al hydrotalcite-type precursors modified with La and Ce were characterized by XANES and tested in ethanol steam reforming. The reaction data showed that, with a molar ratio of water:ethanol = 3:1 in the feed, addition of Ce and La favored acetaldehyde production. Increasing the water content (water:ethanol = 5:1) decreased the acetaldehyde formation by favoring the adsorption of water molecules on these samples, enhancing the acetaldehyde conversion.     

High combustion activity of methane induced by reforming gas over Ni/Al2O3 catalysts

During the reactions related to oxidative steam reforming and combustion of methane over -alumina-supported Ni catalysts, the temperature profiles of the catalyst bed were studied using an infrared (IR) thermograph. IR thermographical images revealed an interesting result: that the temperature at the catalyst bed inlet is much higher under CH₄/H₂O/O₂/Ar = 20/10/20/50 than under CH₄/H₂O/O₂/Ar = 10/0/20/70; the former temperature is comparable to that over noble metal catalysts such as Pt and Pd. Based on the temperature-programmed reduction and oxidation measurements over fresh and used catalysts, the metallic Ni is recognized at the catalyst bed inlet under CH₄/H₂O/O₂/Ar = 20/10/20/50, although it is mainly oxidized to NiAl₂O₄ under CH₄/H₂O/O₂/Ar = 10/0/20/70. This result indicates that the addition of reforming gas (CH₄/H₂O = 10/10) to the combustion gas (CH₄/O₂ = 10/20) can stabilize Ni species in the metallic state even under the presence of oxygen in the gas phase. This would account for its extremely high combustion activity.     

Catalytic performance and QXAFS analysis of Ni catalysts modified with Pd for oxidative steam reforming of methane

Pd–Ni bimetallic catalysts prepared by co-impregnation and sequential impregnation methods were compared in the catalytic performance in oxidative steam reforming of methane. The sequential impregnation was more effective to the suppression of hot spot formation. According to the structural analysis by in situ quick-scanning X-ray absorption fine structure (QXAFS) during the temperature programmed reduction, the sequential impregnation method gave the bimetallic particles with higher Pd surface composition because of the low possibility of the Pd–Ni bond formation. Higher surface composition of Pd with higher reducibility than Ni is connected to the enhancement of the catalyst reducibility and the suppression of the hot spot formation.     

Novel circulating fast fluidized-bed membrane reformer for efficient production of hydrogen from steam reforming of methane

The coupling of steam reforming and oxidative reforming of methane for the efficient production of hydrogen is investigated over Ni/Al₂O₃ catalyst in a novel circulating fast fluidized-bed membrane reformer (CFFBMR) using a rigorous mathematical model. The removal of product hydrogen using palladium hydrogen membranes “breaks” the thermodynamic equilibrium barrier exists among the reversible reactions. Oxygen can be introduced into the adiabatic CFFBMR for oxidative reforming by direct oxygen (or air) feed and through dense perovskite oxygen membranes. The simulations show that high productivity of hydrogen can be obtained in the CFFBMR. The combination of these two different processes does not only enhance the hydrogen productivity but also save the energy due to the exothermicity of the oxidative reforming. Based on the preliminary investigations, four parameters (number of hydrogen membranes, number of oxygen membranes, direct oxygen feed rate and steam-to-carbon feed ratio) are carefully chosen as main variables for the process optimization. The optimized result shows that the hydrogen productivity (moles of hydrogen produced per hour per m³ of reactor) in the novel CFFBMR is about 8.2 times higher than that in typical industrial fixed-bed steam reformers.
