Abstract
In this paper, three methods, namely hydrothermal, Al modification and acid washing, were used to modify Cu-Al spinel catalyst, and then the catalysts were characterized by XRD, BET, H2-TPR and XPS techniques. In conjunction with the performances of methanol steam reforming, the effects of surface composition and structure on the catalytic behaviors of the sustained release process were investigated. The results showed that new crystalline phase formed and surface species changed after the hydrothermal treatment, while Al-modification and acid-treated catalysts didn't change the crystalline phase composition, but the surface Al/Cu ratio and the distribution of Cu species changed. Based on the characterization data of the released Cu, it could be inferred that all the three treatments led to variations of the microscopic surface structure, thus exhibiting different sustained release catalytic behaviors. Specifically, the hydrothermal treatment enhanced the catalytic activity, while Al-modification and acid-treated catalysts showed inferior activity but showing obvious sustained release behavior. The findings of this paper provide a basis for further studies on the surface modification of the Cu-Al spinel catalyst.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Fuel Chemistry and Technology (Ranliao Huaxue Xuebao) is a Chinese Academy of Sciences(CAS) journal started in 1956, sponsored by the Chinese Chemical Society and the Institute of Coal Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences(CAS). The journal is published bimonthly by Science Press in China and widely distributed in about 20 countries. Journal of Fuel Chemistry and Technology publishes reports of both basic and applied research in the chemistry and chemical engineering of many energy sources, including that involved in the nature, processing and utilization of coal, petroleum, oil shale, natural gas, biomass and synfuels, as well as related subjects of increasing interest such as C1 chemistry, pollutions control and new catalytic materials. Types of publications include original research articles, short communications, research notes and reviews. Both domestic and international contributors are welcome. Manuscripts written in Chinese or English will be accepted. Additional English titles, abstracts and key words should be included in Chinese manuscripts. All manuscripts are subject to critical review by the editorial committee, which is composed of about 10 foreign and 50 Chinese experts in fuel science. Journal of Fuel Chemistry and Technology has been a source of primary research work in fuel chemistry as a Chinese core scientific periodical.
