Dry methanation of syngas is a promising route for synthetic natural gas production because of its water and cost saving characteristics, as we reported previously. Here, we report a simple soaking process for the preparation of well-dispersed Ni/MgAl2O4-E catalyst with an average Ni size of 6.4 nm. The catalytic test results showed that the Ni/MgAl2O4-E catalyst exhibited considerably higher activity and better stability than Ni/MgAl2O4-W catalyst prepared by conventional incipient wetness impregnation method in dry methanation reaction. The long-term stability test result of 335 h has demonstrated that the deactivation of the Ni/MgAl2O4-E catalyst is inevitable. With multiple characterization techniques including ICP, EDS, XRD, STEM, TEM, SEM and TG, we reveal that the graphitic carbon encapsulating Ni nanoparticles are the major reasons responsible for catalyst deactivation, and the rate of carbon deposition decreases with reaction time.

Abstract Recently, because of the increasing demand for natural gas and the reduction of greenhouse gases, interests have focused on producing synthetic natural gas (SNG), which is suggested as an important future energy carrier. Hydrogenation of CO2, the so-called methanation reaction, is a suitable technique for the fixation of CO2. Nickel supported on yttrium oxide and promoted with cobalt were prepared by the wet-impregnation method respectively and characterized using SBET, XRD, FTIR, XPS, TPR, and HRTEM/EDX. CO2 hydrogenation over the Ni/Y2O3 catalyst was examined and compared with Co–Ni/Y2O3 catalysts, Co% = 10 and 15 wt/wt. The catalytic test was conducted with the use of a fixed-bed reactor under atmospheric pressure. The catalytic performance temperature was 350 °C with a supply of H2:CO2 molar ratio of 4 and a total flow rate of 200 mL/min. The CH4 yield was reached 67%, and CO2 conversion extended 48.5% with CO traces over 10Co–Ni/Y2O3 catalyst. This encourages the direct methanation reaction mechanism. However, the reaction mechanism over Ni/Y2O3 catalyst shows different behaviors rather than that over bi-metal catalysts, whereas the steam reforming of methane reaction was arisen associated with methane consumption besides increase in H2 and CO formation; at the same temperature reaction.

Catalysts 16NixFe/Al2O3(xis 0, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8) were prepared by incipient wetness impregnation method and the catalytic performance for the production of synthetic natural gas (SNG) from CO hydrogenation in slurry-bed reactor were studied. The catalysts were characterized by BET, XRD, UV-Vis DRS, H2-TPR, CO-TPD, and XPS, and the results showed that the introduction of iron improved the dispersion of Ni species, weakened the interaction between Ni species and support and decreased the reduction temperature and that catalyst formed Ni-Fe alloy when the content of iron exceeded 2%. Experimental results revealed that the addition of iron to the catalyst can effectively improve the catalytic performance of low-temperature CO methanation. Catalyst 16Ni4Fe/Al2O3with the iron content of 4% exhibited the best catalytic performance, the conversion of CO and the yield of CH4reached 97.2% and 84.9%, respectively, and the high catalytic performance of Ni-Fe catalyst was related to the property of formed Ni-Fe alloy. Further increase of iron content led to enhancing the water gas shift reaction.

AbstractThe development of an active, selective, and long-term stable heterogeneous catalyst for the reductive hydrogenation of substituted nitrorarenes in continuous operation mode is still challenging. In this work, Ru based nanoparticles catalysts promoted with different transition metals (Zn, Co, Cu, Sn, or Fe) were supported on alumina spheres using spray wet impregnation method. The freshly prepared catalysts were characterized using complementary methods including scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) and temperature programmed reduction (TPR). The hydrogenation of 1-iodo-4-nitrobenzene served as model reaction to assess the catalytic performance of the prepared catalysts. The addition of the promotor affected the reducibility of Ru nanoparticles as well as the performance of the catalyst in the hydrogenation reaction. The highest yield of 4-iodoaniline (89 %) was obtained in a continuous flow process using Ru-Sn/Al2O3. The performance of this catalyst was also followed in a long-term experiment. With increasing operation time, a catalyst deactivation occurred which could only briefly compensate by an increase of the reaction temperature.

Fe-Ni and Co-Fe-Ni catalysts were prepared by the wet impregnation method for the production of high-calorific synthetic natural gas. The influence of Ni addition to Fe and Co-Fe catalyst structure and catalytic performance was investigated. The results show that the increasing of Ni amount in Fe-Ni and Co-Fe-Ni catalysts increased the formation of Ni-Fe alloy. In addition, the addition of nickel to the Fe and Co-Fe catalysts could promote the dispersion of metal and decrease the reduction temperature. Consequently, the Fe-Ni and Co-Fe-Ni catalysts exhibited higher CO conversion compared to Fe and Co-Fe catalysts. A higher Ni amount in the catalysts could increase C1–C4 hydrocarbon production and reduce the byproducts (C5+ and CO2). Among the catalysts, the 5Co-15Fe-5Ni/γ-Al2O3 catalyst affords a high light hydrocarbon yield (51.7% CH4 and 21.8% C2–C4) with a low byproduct yield (14.1% C5+ and 12.1% CO2).

Nickel/carbon nanotubes (Ni/CNTs), Nickel/alumina (Ni/Al2O3), calcium-promoted Ni/CNTs and calcium-promoted Ni/Al2O3 were synthesized by impregnation method. Methanation of carbon dioxide was used as a probe to evaluate their catalytic performance. The features of these Ni-based catalysts were investigated via XRD, H2-TPR, H2-TPD and the N2 adsorptiondesorption isotherms. H2-TPR showed that nickel species on Ni/CNTs was reduced more easily with respect to that on Ni/Al2O3, and addition of Ca can increase the content of easily reducible Ni species for Ni/CNTs. XRD and H2-TPD indicated that addition of Ca promoted dispersion for CNTs-supported catalyst. These finding ultimately enhanced catalytic activity and stability for Ni/CNTs catalyst modified with Ca.

Malaysia energy demand on natural gas is increasing, leading to the purification of sour natural gas through the removal of carbon dioxide using catalytic conversion technique. Praseodymium oxide is preferred due to its properties which are suitable in the production of catalysers, polish glass and also as alloying agent. Therefore, a series of praseodymium oxide catalyst was prepared by incipient wetness impregnation method and was calcined at 400oC for 5 hours during screening reaction. The experimental Box-Behnken design was applied for optimizing the parameters in catalytic methanation reaction. The optimum parameters were found to be compatible with  the experimental result which showed that Ru/Mn/Pr (5:35:60)/Al2O3 calcined at 800°C with 65% Pr loading and 7 g of catalyst dosage gave 96% of CO2 conversion, determined using FTIR, and yielded about 41% of CH4 at reaction temperature of 400°C. In the stability test, the catalyst’s performance showed an increase and was stable up to 7 hours with 96% of CO2 conversion. X-ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis showed an amorphous structure while Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM) illustrated the presence of small and dispersed particles with undefined shape covering the catalyst surface. EDX analysis revealed that when calcination temperature increased, the mass ratio of Ru increased. Meanwhile Nitrogen Adsorption (NA) analysis revealed that Ru/Mn/Pr (5:35:60)/Al2O3 catalyst attained surface area of 134.39 m2/g.

The yolk-shell Fe3O4-polyaniline for decoration of Pd-Ni nanoparticles (yolk-shell Fe3O4-PANI/Pd-Ni) were synthesized and used as a new electrocatalyst for oxidation of formic acid. The yolk-shell Fe3O4-PANI/Pd-Ni catalyst provided superior catalyst performance for formic acid oxidation in H2SO4 aqueous solution. These yolk-shell Fe3O4-PANI/Pd-Ni catalysts were found to be more resistant to deactivation in the oxidation of formic acid than yolk-shell Fe3O4-PANI/Pd and Pd/C and to consistently show better long-term performances. The enhanced catalytic performance may arise from the unique structure and surface properties of the yolk-shell Fe3O4-PANI and bi-functional effect, which process extraordinary promotional effect on Pd catalyst.

Cu supported on acid-treated sepiolite catalysts (xCu/H-Sep, x = 0  20.0 wt%) or Cu-Fe mixed supported on acid-treated sepiolite catalysts (yFe-10Cu/H-Sep, y = 0  20.0 wt%) were prepared by the incipient wetness impregnation method. The xCu/H-Sep and yFe-10Cu/H-Sep catalysts were characterized by means of XRD, BET, XRF, XPS, and H2-TPR techniques, and their catalytic activities were evaluated for the SCR of NO with propylene. XPS and XRD results indicate that there was the co-presence of Cu+-Cu2+ and Fe2+-Fe3+ over the surfaces of yFe-10Cu/H-Sep catalysts, and there was a strong interaction between Cu, Fe and sepiolite. High promotional effect of iron additive on the catalytic performance of Cu/H-Sep catalyst were found in C3H6-SCR of NO reaction. The highest activity of 65% NO conversion was obtained over 15Fe-10Cu/H-Sep catalyst at 280 oC under the condition of 1000 ppm NO, 1000 ppm C3H6, and 5% O2. The high catalytic activity of 15Fe-10Cu/H-Sep catalyst for NO reduction was due to its high reducibility to activate C3H6 to selectively reduce NO in the presence of excess O2. The high dispersion of copper oxides and strong metal-support interaction over 15Fe-10Cu/H-Sep catalyst also improve its catalytic performance.
