Support effect in Ni-based catalysts for methane steam reforming: Role of MxOy-Al2O3 (M = Ni, Mg, Co) supports for enhanced catalyst stability
Ni-based catalysts supported on composite metal oxides (NiO-Al2O3, MgO-Al2O3, Co3O4-Al2O3) were synthesized via coprecipitation followed by Ni impregnation to investigate the influence of support composition on catalyst stability in methane steam reforming. Accelerated deactivation protocols (methane decomposition, high-temperature sintering, hydrothermal oxidation) revealed hydrothermal oxidation as the primary cause of irreversible deactivation. The 10Ni/NiAl catalyst (10 wt% Ni/10 wt% NiO-Al2O3) showed remarkable regenerability after 923 K hydrothermal treatment, fully restoring its activity. This was attributed to coexisting reduced Ni species and readily reducible NiO, facilitating rapid reactivation. Other catalysts formed thermally stable NiAl2O4, leading to permanent deactivation. Methane cracking at 973 K had negligible effect, and 10Ni/NiAl catalyst exhibited the lowest carbon deposition (17.02 %). Under extreme hydrogen purged at 1223 K, only the 10Ni/CoAl catalyst exhibited a minor activity decline. The superior stability of 10Ni/NiAl was attributed to an in situ-formed NiAl composite metal oxides during 973 K calcination, which effectively anchored Ni particles, suppressed sintering, and prevented extensive oxidation.
期刊介绍:
Fuel Processing Technology (FPT) deals with the scientific and technological aspects of converting fossil and renewable resources to clean fuels, value-added chemicals, fuel-related advanced carbon materials and by-products. In addition to the traditional non-nuclear fossil fuels, biomass and wastes, papers on the integration of renewables such as solar and wind energy and energy storage into the fuel processing processes, as well as papers on the production and conversion of non-carbon-containing fuels such as hydrogen and ammonia, are also welcome. While chemical conversion is emphasized, papers on advanced physical conversion processes are also considered for publication in FPT. Papers on the fundamental aspects of fuel structure and properties will also be considered.
