The inhibition effect of H 2O on V 2O 5/AC catalyst for NO reduction with NH 3 is studied at temperatures up to 250 °C through TPD, elemental analyses, temperature-programmed surface reaction (TPSR) and FT-IR analyses. The results show that H 2O does not reduce NO and NH 3 adsorption on V 2O 5/AC catalyst surface, but promotes NH 3 adsorption due to increases in Brønsted acid sites. Many kinds of NH 3 forms present on the catalyst surface, but only NH 4+ on Brønsted acid sites and a small portion of NH 3 on Lewis acid sites are reactive with NO at 250 °C or below, and most of the NH 3 on Lewis acid sites does not react with NO, regardless the presence of H 2O in the feed gas. H 2O inhibits the SCR reaction between the NH 3 on the Lewis acid sites and NO, and the inhibition effect increases with increasing H 2O content. The inhibition effect is reversible and H 2O does not poison the V 2O 5/AC catalyst. 相似文献

We report the kinetic parameters for the water–gas shift (WGS) reaction on Pt catalysts supported on ceria and alumina under fuel reformer conditions for fuel cell applications (6.8% CO, 8.5% CO 2, 22% H 2O, 37.3% H 2, and 25.4% Ar) at a total pressure of 1 atm and in the temperature range of 180–345 °C. When ceria was used as a support, the turnover rate (TOR) for WGS was 30 times that on alumina supported Pt catalysts. The overall WGS reaction rate ( r) on Pt/alumina catalysts as a function of the forward rate ( rf) was found to be: r = rf(1 − β), where rf = kf[CO] 0.1[H 2O] 1.0[CO 2] −0.1[H 2] −0.5, kf is the forward rate constant, β = ([CO 2][H 2])/( Keq[CO][H 2O]) is the approach to equilibrium, and Keq is the equilibrium constant for the WGS reaction. The negative apparent reaction orders indicate inhibition of the forward rate by CO 2 and H 2. The surface is saturated with CO on Pt under reaction conditions as confirmed by diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS). The small positive apparent reaction order for CO, in concert with the negative order for H 2 and the high CO coverage is explained by a decrease in the heat of adsorption as the CO coverage increases. Kinetic models based on redox-type mechanisms can explain the observed reaction kinetics and can qualitatively predict the changes in CO coverage observed in the DRIFTS study. 相似文献

Conversion of syn-gas to lower alkenes is studied over a multicomponent catalyst system, Fe-TiO 2-ZnO-K 2O. Various reaction variables affecting the conversion were studied. At H 2:CO=1, 2.5 kg/cm 2 pressure, 250°C temperature and GHSV=960 h −1, maximum selectivity of 68% to alkenes was obtained at 45% conversion of the feed. The alkenes consist of a mixture of propylene (65%) and ethylene (35%). The catalyst is active even after 200 h of use. The catalyst samples were characterised by BET surface area measurements, TPR and TPD. XRD and ESCA studies reveal the presence of Fe 2O 3 phase in the fresh catalyst. This phase is ably promoted by Zn and K. On reaction with CO+H 2, electron-rich species are formed on catalyst surface, which are the most likely active species. In addition to this, there is an improvement in dispersion of the active phase. These factors may contribute toward better performance of the catalyst in the conversion of syn-gas to lower alkenes. 相似文献

A series of 1 wt.%Pt/ xBa/Support (Support = Al 2O 3, SiO 2, Al 2O 3-5.5 wt.%SiO 2 and Ce 0.7Zr 0.3O 2, x = 5–30 wt.% BaO) catalysts was investigated regarding the influence of the support oxide on Ba properties for the rapid NO x trapping (100 s). Catalysts were treated at 700 °C under wet oxidizing atmosphere. The nature of the support oxide and the Ba loading influenced the Pt–Ba proximity, the Ba dispersion and then the surface basicity of the catalysts estimated by CO 2-TPD. At high temperature (400 °C) in the absence of CO 2 and H 2O, the NO x storage capacity increased with the catalyst basicity: Pt/20Ba/Si < Pt/20Ba/Al5.5Si < Pt/10Ba/Al < Pt/5Ba/CeZr < Pt/30Ba/Al5.5Si < Pt/20Ba/Al < Pt/10BaCeZr. Addition of CO 2 decreased catalyst performances. The inhibiting effect of CO 2 on the NO x uptake increased generally with both the catalyst basicity and the storage temperature. Water negatively affected the NO x storage capacity, this effect being higher on alumina containing catalysts than on ceria–zirconia samples. When both CO 2 and H 2O were present in the inlet gas, a cumulative effect was observed at low temperatures (200 °C and 300 °C) whereas mainly CO 2 was responsible for the loss of NO x storage capacity at 400 °C. Finally, under realistic conditions (H 2O and CO 2) the Pt/20Ba/Al5.5Si catalyst showed the best performances for the rapid NO x uptake in the 200–400 °C temperature range. It resulted mainly from: (i) enhanced dispersions of platinum and barium on the alumina–silica support, (ii) a high Pt–Ba proximity and (iii) a low basicity of the catalyst which limits the CO 2 competition for the storage sites. 相似文献

A multi-component NO x-trap catalyst consisting of Pt and K supported on γ-Al 2O 3 was studied at 250 °C to determine the roles of the individual catalyst components, to identify the adsorbing species during the lean capture cycle, and to assess the effects of H 2O and CO 2 on NO x storage. The Al 2O 3 support was shown to have NO x trapping capability with and without Pt present (at 250 °C Pt/Al 2O 3 adsorbs 2.3 μmols NO x/m 2). NO x is primarily trapped on Al 2O 3 in the form of nitrates with monodentate, chelating and bridged forms apparent in Diffuse Reflectance mid-Infrared Fourier Transform Spectroscopy (DRIFTS) analysis. The addition of K to the catalyst increases the adsorption capacity to 6.2 μmols NO x/m 2, and the primary storage form on K is a free nitrate ion. Quantitative DRIFTS analysis shows that 12% of the nitrates on a Pt/K/Al 2O 3 catalyst are coordinated on the Al 2O 3 support at saturation. When 5% CO2 was included in a feed stream with 300 ppm NO and 12% O2, the amount of K-based nitrate storage decreased by 45% after 1 h on stream due to the competition of adsorbed free nitrates with carboxylates for adsorption sites. When 5% H2O was included in a feed stream with 300 ppm NO and 12% O2, the amount of K-based nitrate storage decreased by only 16% after 1 h, but the Al2O3-based nitrates decreased by 92%. Interestingly, with both 5% CO2 and 5% H2O in the feed, the total storage only decreased by 11%, as the hydroxyl groups generated on Al2O3 destabilized the K–CO2 bond; specifically, H2O mitigates the NOx storage capacity losses associated with carboxylate competition. 相似文献

The sulphur tolerance and thermal stability of a 2 wt% Ag/γ-Al 2O 3 catalyst was investigated for the H 2-promoted SCR of NO x with octane and toluene. The aged catalyst was characterised by XRD and EXAFS analysis. It was found that the effect of ageing was a function of the gas mix and temperature of ageing. At high temperatures (800 °C) the catalyst deactivated regardless of the reaction mix. EXAFS analysis showed that this was associated with the Ag particles on the surface of the catalyst becoming more ordered. At 600 and 700 °C, the deactivating effect of ageing was much less pronounced for the catalyst in the H 2-promoted octane-SCR reaction and ageing at 600 °C resulted in an enhancement in activity for the reaction in the absence of H 2. For the toluene + H 2-SCR reaction the catalyst deactivated at each ageing temperature. The effect of addition of low levels of sulphur (1 ppm SO 2) to the feed was very much dependent on the reaction temperature. There was little deactivation of the catalyst at low temperatures (≤235 °C), severe deactivation at intermediate temperatures (305 and 400 °C) and activation of the catalyst at high temperatures (>500 °C). The results can be explained by the activity of the catalyst for the oxidation of SO 2 to SO 3 and the relative stability of silver and aluminium sulphates. The catalyst could be almost fully regenerated by a combination of heating and the presence of hydrogen in the regeneration mix. The catalyst could not be regenerated in the absence of hydrogen. 相似文献

Combined effect of H 2O and SO 2 on V 2O 5/AC the activity of catalyst for selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO with NH 3 at lower temperatures was studied. In the absence of SO 2, H 2O inhibits the catalytic activity, which may be attributed to competitive adsorption of H 2O and reactants (NO and/or NH 3). Although SO 2 promotes the SCR activity of the V 2O 5/AC catalyst in the absence of H 2O, it speeds the deactivation of the catalyst in the presence of H 2O. The dual effect of SO 2 is attributed to the SO 42− formed on the catalyst surface, which stays as ammonium-sulfate salts on the catalyst surface. In the absence of H 2O, a small amount of ammonium-sulfate salts deposits on the surface of the catalyst, which promote the SCR activity; in the presence of H 2O, however, the deposition rate of ammonium-sulfate salts is much greater, which results in blocking of the catalyst pores and deactivates the catalyst. Decreasing V 2O 5 loading decreases the deactivation rate of the catalyst. The catalyst can be used stably at a space velocity of 9000 h −1 and temperature of 250 °C. 相似文献

Catalytic performance of Sn/Al 2O 3 catalysts prepared by impregnation (IM) and sol–gel (SG) method for selective catalytic reduction of NO x by propene under lean burn condition were investigated. The physical properties of catalyst were characterized by BET, XRD, XPS and TPD. The results showed that NO 2 had higher reactivity than NO to nitrogen, the maximum NO conversion was 82% on the 5% Sn/Al 2O 3 (SG) catalyst, and the maximum NO 2 conversion reached nearly 100% around 425 °C. Such a temperature of maximum NO conversion was in accordance with those of NO x desorption accompanied with O 2 around 450 °C. The activity of NO reduction was enhanced remarkably by the presence of H 2O and SO 2 at low temperature, and the temperature window was also broadened in the presence of H 2O and SO 2, however the NO x desorption and NO conversion decreased sharply on the 300 ppm SO 2 treated catalyst, the catalytic activity was inhibited by the presence of SO 2 due to formation of sulfate species (SO 42−) on the catalysts. The presence of oxygen played an essential role in NO reduction, and the activity of the 5% Sn/Al 2O 3 (SG) was not decreased in the presence of large oxygen. 相似文献

The effect of deposition and order of potassium introduction on the texture and activity of Mo/γ-Al 2O 3 catalysts in water gas shift (WGS) reaction was investigated. The samples were synthesised by incipient wetness impregnation of the carrier with aqueous solutions of the corresponding salts followed by drying and calcination after each deposition step. The prepared catalyst precursors were sulphided at 400°C for 2 h with 6% H 2S in H 2 before testing in WGS reaction in a glass flow apparatus at 400°C under atmospheric pressure. The results show that potassium deposition alone on the bare γ-Al2O3 (sample K/Al2O3) decreases the specific surface after calcination by blocking the constrictions between the pores in the primary porous texture. In the WGS reaction conditions part of the pores are deblocked and a redistribution in the pore volumes occurs. The deposition of the Mo (sample Mo/Al2O3) also results in a decrease in both specific surface and total pore volume with respect to the bare support. However after catalytic activity test no substantial changes in its texture were observed. The addition of K to the Mo (sample KMo/Al2O3) leads to nonuniformity in distribution of molybdenum–oxygen entities due to partial migration of the MoOx species to the external surface. The specific surface is not changed during the reaction test. The deposition of Mo on K/Al2O3 contributes to the uniform distribution of oxomolybdenum species in the porous texture of the support. This uniformity is preserved to a high extent in the catalytic reaction as well. The activity in the synthesised samples in the WGS reaction decreases in the order MoK/Al2O3 > Mo/Al2O3 > KMo/Al2O3. 相似文献

Performance data are presented for methane oxidation on alumina-supported Pd, Pt, and Rh catalysts under both fuel-rich and fuel-lean conditions. Catalyst activity was measured in a micro-scale isothermal reactor at temperatures between 300 and 800 °C. Non-isothermal (near adiabatic) temperature and reaction data were obtained in a full-length (non-differential) sub-scale reactor operating at high pressure (0.9 MPa) and constant inlet temperature, simulating actual reactor operation in catalytic combustion applications. Under fuel-lean conditions, Pd catalyst was the most active, although deactivation occurred above 650 °C, with reactivation upon cooling. Rh catalyst also deactivated above 750 °C, but did not reactivate. Pt catalyst was active above 600 °C. Fuel-lean reaction products were CO2 and H2O for all three catalysts. The same catalysts tested under fuel-rich conditions demonstrated much higher activity. In addition, a ‘lightoff’ temperature was found (between 450 and 600 °C), where a stepwise increase in reaction rate was observed. Following ‘lightoff’ partial oxidation products (CO, H2) appeared in the mixture, and their concentration increased with increasing temperature. All three catalysts exhibited this behavior. High-pressure (0.9 MPa) sub-scale reactor and combustor data are shown, demonstrating the benefits of fuel-rich operation over the catalyst for ultra-low emissions combustion. 相似文献

Oxidation activity and stability under reaction was investigated for a series of mixed oxide catalysts, doped or not by a precious metal (Pd, Pt). The reaction feedstock, containing CO, H 2, CH 4, CO 2 and H 2O, simulated gases issued from H 2 production processes for fuel cells. Contrarily to conventional noble metal catalysts, mixed oxide samples present generally good stability under reaction at high temperature. The activities measured for the perovskite and hexaaluminate catalysts, are however largely lower than that of the reference Pd/Al 2O 3 catalyst. High activities were obtained after impregnation of 1.1 wt.% Pd or 0.8 wt.% Pt on the hexaaluminates samples. Even if Pd/Al 2O 3 was found to present a high activity, this sample suffered from drastic deactivation at 700 °C. Better stability were obtained on perovskite. Furthermore, doping hexaaluminate by Pt led to samples with good activities and high stability. Even if better activities were obtained by doping the hexaaluminate samples by Pd, the Pd/BaAl 12O 19 strongly deactivated, as it was previously observed for the reference catalyst. Interestingly, this Pd deactivation was not observed when Pd was impregnated on the Mn substituted hexaaluminate, leading to a stable and active catalyst. This suggests that it is possible to stabilize the palladium in its oxidized form at high temperature (700 °C) on the surface of some supports. 相似文献

A 5 wt% CoO x/TiO 2 catalyst has been used to study the effect of calcination temperature on the activity of this catalyst for CO oxidation at 100 °C under a net oxidizing condition in a continuous flow type fixed-bed reactor system, and the catalyst samples have been characterized using TPD, XPS and XRD measurements. The catalyst after calcination at 450 °C gave highest activity for this low-temperature CO oxidation, and XPS measurements yielded that a 780.2-eV Co 2p 3/2 main peak appeared with this catalyst sample and this binding energy was similar to that measured with pure Co 3O 4. After calcination at 570 °C, the catalyst, which had possessed practically no activity in the oxidation reaction, gave a Co 2p 3/2 main structure peak at 781.3 eV which was very similar to those obtained for synthesized Co nTiO n+2 compounds (CoTiO 3 and Co 2TiO 4), and this catalyst sample had relatively negligible CO chemisorption as observed by TPD spectra. XRD peaks indicating only the formation of Co 3O 4 particles on titania surface were developed in the catalyst samples after calcination at temperatures ≥350 °C. Based on these characterization results, five types of Co species could be modeled to exist with the catalyst calcined at different temperatures. Among these surface Co species, the Type A clean Co 3O 4 particles were predominant on a sample of the catalyst after calcination at 450 °C and highly active for CO oxidation at 100 °C, and the calcination at 570 °C gave the Type B Co 3O 4 particles with complete Co nTiO n+2 overlayers inactive for this oxidation reaction. 相似文献

The catalytic activity of Pt on alumina catalysts, with and without MnO x incorporated to the catalyst formulation, for CO oxidation in H 2-free as well as in H 2-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/Al 2O 3. 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.% CO 2 and 5 vol.% H 2O in the feedstream on catalysts performance has also been studied and discussed. The presence of CO 2 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. 相似文献

A series of La(Co, Mn, Fe) 1−x(Cu, Pd) xO 3 perovskites having high specific surface areas and nanosized crystal domains was prepared by reactive grinding. The solids were characterized by N 2 adsorption, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), temperature programmed desorption (TPD) of O 2, NO + O 2, C 3H 6, in the absence or presence of 5% H 2O, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, as well as activity tests towards NO reduction by propene under the conditions of 3000 ppm NO, 3000 ppm C 3H 6, 1% O 2, 0 or 10% H 2O, and 50,000 h −1 space velocity. The objective was to investigate the influence of H 2O addition on catalytic behavior. A good performance (100% NO conversion, 77% N 2 yield, and 90% C 3H 6 conversion) was achieved at 600 °C over LaFe 0.8Cu 0.2O 3 under a dry feed stream. With the exposure of LaFe 0.8Cu 0.2O 3 to a humid atmosphere containing 10% water vapor, the catalytic activity was slightly decreased yielding 91% NO conversion, 51% N 2 yield, and 86% C 3H 6 conversion. A competitive adsorption between H 2O vapor with O 2 and NO molecules at anion vacancies over LaFe 0.8Cu 0.2O 3 was found by means of TPD studies here. A deactivation mechanism was therefore proposed involving the occupation of available active sites by water vapor, resulting in an inhibition of catalytic activity in C 3H 6 + NO + O 2 reaction. This H 2O deactivation was also verified to be strictly reversible by removing steam from the feed. 相似文献

The relationship between the catalytic activity of carbided molybdena–alumina and the methane desorption from carbidic carbon through temperature-programmed surface reaction (TPSR) were studied. The effects of passivation and hydrogen treatment on the catalytic activities of molybdenum carbides for CO 2 hydrogenation were determined. When the 973 K-carbided catalyst was reduced at 773 K with hydrogen, the catalyst exhibited the highest activity for the reaction, the activity decreasing with increasing H 2 pretreatment temperature. Passivation of this catalyst decreased the reaction rate by 20%. TPSR results were correlated with the activity to reveal that molybdenum carbide with slightly deficient carbidic carbon (Mo 2C 0.962C1.0) serves as an active site for CO2 hydrogenation. 相似文献

Crystallization of diamond was studied in the CO 2–C, CO 2–H 2O–C, H 2O–C, and CH 4–H 2–C systems at 5.7 GPa and 1200–1420°C. Thermodynamic calculations show generation of CO 2, CO 2–H 2O, H 2O and CH 4–H 2 fluids in experiments with graphite and silver oxalate (Ag 2C 2O 4), oxalic acid dihydrate (H 2C 2O 4·2H 2O), water (H 2O), and anthracene (C 14H 10), respectively. Diamond nucleation and growth has been found in the CO 2–C, CO 2–H 2O–C, and H 2O–C systems at 1300–1420°C. At a temperature as low as 1200°C for 136 h there was spontaneous crystallization of diamond in the CO 2–H 2O–C system. For the CH 4–H 2–C system, at 1300–1420°C no diamond synthesis has been established, only insignificant growth on seeds was observed. Diamond octahedra form from the C–O–H fluids at all temperature ranges under investigation. Diamond formation from the fluids at 5.7 GPa and 1200–1420°C was accompanied with the active recrystallization of metastable graphite. 相似文献

In this paper, the effect of CO 2 and H 2O on NO x storage and reduction over a Pt–Ba/γ-Al 2O 3 (1 wt.% Pt and 30 wt.% Ba) catalyst is shown. The experimental results reveal that in the presence of CO 2 and H 2O, NO x is stored on BaCO 3 sites only. Moreover, H 2O inhibits the NO oxidation capability of the catalyst and no NO 2 formation is observed. Only 16% of the total barium is utilized in NO storage. The rich phase shows 95% selectivity towards N 2 as well as complete regeneration of stored NO. In the presence of CO 2, NO is oxidized into NO 2 and more NO x is stored as in the presence of H 2O, resulting in 30% barium utilization. Bulk barium sites are inactive in NO x trapping in the presence of CO 2·NH 3 formation is seen in the rich phase and the selectivity towards N 2 is 83%. Ba(NO 3) 2 is always completely regenerated during the subsequent rich phase. In the absence of CO 2 and H 2O, both surface and bulk barium sites are active in NO x storage. As lean/rich cycling proceeds, the selectivity towards N 2 in the rich phase decreases from 82% to 47% and the N balance for successive lean/rich cycles shows incomplete regeneration of the catalyst. This incomplete regeneration along with a 40% decrease in the Pt dispersion and BET surface area, explains the observed decrease in NO x storage. 相似文献

The selective catalytic reduction of NO by H 2 under strongly oxidizing conditions (H 2-SCR) in the low-temperature range of 100–200 °C has been studied over Pt supported on a series of metal oxides (e.g., La 2O 3, MgO, Y 2O 3, CaO, CeO 2, TiO 2, SiO 2 and MgO-CeO 2). The Pt/MgO and Pt/CeO 2 solids showed the best catalytic behavior with respect to N 2 yield and the widest temperature window of operation compared with the other single metal oxide-supported Pt solids. An optimum 50 wt% MgO-50wt% CeO 2 support composition and 0.3 wt% Pt loading (in the 0.1–2.0 wt% range) were found in terms of specific reaction rate of N 2 production (mols N 2/g cat s). High NO conversions (70–95%) and N 2 selectivities (80–85%) were also obtained in the 100–200 °C range at a GHSV of 80,000 h −1 with the lowest 0.1 wt% Pt loading and using a feed stream of 0.25 vol% NO, 1 vol% H 2, 5 vol% O 2 and He as balance gas. Addition of 5 vol% H 2O in the latter feed stream had a positive influence on the catalytic performance and practically no effect on the stability of the 0.1 wt% Pt/MgO-CeO 2 during 24 h on reaction stream. Moreover, the latter catalytic system exhibited a high stability in the presence of 25–40 ppm SO 2 in the feed stream following a given support pretreatment. N 2 selectivity values in the 80–85% range were obtained over the 0.1 wt% Pt/MgO-CeO 2 catalyst in the 100–200 °C range in the presence of water and SO 2 in the feed stream. The above-mentioned results led to the obtainment of patents for the commercial exploitation of Pt/MgO-CeO 2 catalyst towards a new NO x control technology in the low-temperature range of 100–200 °C using H 2 as reducing agent. Temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) of NO, and transient titration of the adsorbed surface intermediate NO x species with H 2 experiments, following reaction, have revealed important information towards the understanding of basic mechanistic issues of the present catalytic system (e.g., surface coverage, number and location of active NO x intermediate species, NO x spillover). 相似文献

MgO-promoted Ni/Al 2O 3 catalysts have been investigated with respect to catalytic activity and coke formation in combined steam and carbon dioxide reforming of methane (CSCRM) to develop a highly active and stable catalyst for gas to liquid (GTL) processes. Ni/Al 2O 3 catalysts were promoted through varying the MgO content by the incipient wetness method. X-ray diffraction (XRD), BET surface area, H 2-temperature programmed reduction (TPR), H 2-chemisorption and CO 2-temperature programmed desorption (TPD) were used to observe the characteristics of the prepared catalysts. The coke formation and amount in used catalysts were examined by SEM and TGA, respectively. H 2/CO ratio of 2 was achieved in CSCRM by controlling the feed H 2O/CO 2 ratio. The catalysts prepared with 20 wt.% MgO exhibit the highest catalytic performance and have high coke resistance in CSCRM. MgO promotion forms MgAl 2O 4 spinel phase, which is stable at high temperatures and effectively prevents coke formation by increasing the CO 2 adsorption due to the increase in base strength on the surface of catalyst. 相似文献

A kinetic study on CH 4 combustion over a PdO/ZrO 2 (10%, w/w) catalyst has been performed in a temperature range between 400 and 550 °C by means of an annular catalytic microreactor. The role of mass transfer phenomena including diffusion in the catalyst pore, gas–solid diffusion and axial diffusion in the gas phase, has been preliminary addressed by means of mathematical modeling. Simulation results have pointed out the key role of internal diffusion showing that thicknesses of the active catalyst layer as thin as 10–15 μm are required to minimize the impact of mass transfer limitations. The thermal behavior of the reactor has been also addressed by means of catalytic combustion tests with CH4 and CO–H2 mixtures as fuels. The results have demonstrated the possibility to obtain nearly isothermal temperature profiles under severe conditions (up to 3% of CH4) thanks to effective dissipation of reaction heat by radiation from the catalyst outer skin. Finally the effect of reactants (CH4 and O2) and products (H2O and CO2) on CH4 combustion rate has been addressed. The results have shown that both H2O and CO2 markedly inhibit the reaction up to 550 °C. The data have been fitted by the following simple power law expression r=krPCH4PH2O−0.32PCO2−0.25 with an apparent activation energy of 108 kJ/mol. Evidences have been found and discussed indicating a key role of the support on the extent of such inhibition effects. 相似文献
