摘要:

采用射频热等离子体制备了Ni含量为50 mol%的Ni-CeO2催化剂, 考察了其在甲烷部分氧化反应中的催化活性. 在催化剂制备过程中, 采用板功率为52 kVA的射频等离子体火炬将Ni(直径约5 μm)和CeO2粉末(直径约200 nm)混合物同时加热, 粉末添加速率约为120 g/h. X射线衍射和透射电镜表征结果表明, 所用前驱体形成了高结晶的CeO2载体, 其表面Ni颗粒的粒径较小(< 50 nm). 在常压、500 ℃以上、反应物中CH4:O2 = 2:1(摩尔比), 并用Ar稀释的条件下考察了所制样品的甲烷部分氧化反应性能. 结果表明, 尽管所制样品中Ni含量较高(~50 mol%), 但在550 ℃反应24 h后, 甲烷转化率为70%以上, CO和H2选择性大于90%, 有少量积碳. 然而, 在750 ℃反应24 h时, 催化剂表面形成了丝状碳, 甲烷转化率升至90%以上.

Abstract:

Ni-CeO2 catalysts with a nickel content of 50 mol% were prepared using RF thermal plasma, and their catalytic activities for methane partial oxidation were characterized. For the synthesis of Ni-CeO2 catalysts, a precursor containing Ni (~5-μm diameter) and CeO2 (~200-nm diameter) powders were heated simultaneously using an RF plasma at a power level of ~52 kVA and a powder feeding rate of ~120 g/h. From the X-ray diffraction data and transmission electron microscopy images, the precursor formed into high crystalline CeO2 supports with nanosized Ni particles (< 50-nm diameter) on their surfaces. The catalytic performance was evaluated under atmospheric pressure at > 500 ℃ and a CH4:O2 molar ratio of 2:1 with Ar diluent. Although the Ni content was high (~50 mol%), the experimental results reveal a methane conversion rate of > 70%, selectivities of CO and H2 greater than 90% and slight carbon coking during an on-stream test at 550 ℃ for 24 h. However, at 750 ℃, the on-stream test revealed the formation of filament-like carbons with an increased methane conversion rate over 90%.
