Engineered Sulfur-Resistant Catalyst System with an Assisted Regeneration Strategy for Lean-Burn Methane Combustion.

ABSTRACT: Catalytic combustion of methane, the main component of natural gas, is a challenge under lean-burn conditions and at low temperatures owing to sulfur poisoning of the Pd-rich catalyst. This paper introduces a more sulfur-resistant catalyst system that can be regenerated during operation. The developed catalyst system lowers the barrier that has restrained the use of liquefied natural gas as a fuel in energy production.

Catalytic Performance of Palladium Supported on Sheaf-Like Ceria in the Lean Methane Combustion.

Project description:Sheaf-like CeO2 (CeO2-S) in microscale was prepared by the hydrothermal method, and then etched with KOH aiming to obtain an imperfect fluorite structure (CeO2-SK) with high content of oxygen vacancies and oxygen mobility. With CeO2-S and CeO2-SK as supports respectively, a modified colloidal deposition method was employed to obtain Pd/CeO2 catalysts for being used in lean methane combustion. According to the inductively coupled plasma (ICP), N2 physisorption and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results, the Pd supported catalysts are very similar in their Pd loading, surface area and morphologies. SEM and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) results revealed various nanorods exposed CeO2 (110) and (100) facets on Pd/CeO2-SK surface after KOH etching. Raman spectra and H2-temperature programmed reduction (H2-TPR) results indicated that Pd/CeO2-SK catalyst has a much higher content of catalytic active PdO species than Pd/CeO2-S catalyst. It was also found that the catalytic performance of Pd/CeO2 in lean methane combustion depends greatly upon the exposing crystal planes and oxygen vacancies content of sheaf-like CeO2, and Pd/CeO2-SK exhibits higher activity than Pd/CeO2-S. The larger amount of CeO2 (110) and (100) planes on Pd/CeO2-SK surface can enhance the formation of oxygen vacancies, active Pd species and migration of lattice oxygen, which all evidently improve the redox ability and catalytic activity of the Pd/CeO2-SK catalysts in lean methane combustion.

Numerical Investigations on Methane-Air Nanosecond Pulsed Dielectric Barrier Discharge Plasma-Assisted Combustion.

Project description:Plasma-assisted combustion is a promising approach to achieve fast ignition and highly efficient combustion. In this work, methane-air nanosecond pulsed dielectric barrier discharge plasma-assisted combustion is numerically investigated by combining a homemade plasma model with the combustion model of software CHEMKIN-PRO. Effects of varying applied voltage amplitudes on the characteristic parameters of the plasma-assisted planar shear flow combustion as well as the reaction pathway maps of not only the nanosecond pulsed dielectric barrier discharge plasma but also the combustions without and with plasma assistance are systematically illustrated and analyzed. The simulation results indicate that under the combined action of increasing electric field intensity and increasing charged particle densities, the peak value of the discharge current density increases, and the peak time of the discharge current density is brought forward with the increase of the applied voltage amplitude. The temperature reaches its peak value earlier in the methane-air combustion with plasma assistance than without plasma assistance. The maximum temperature reduces to around 1900 K when the applied voltage amplitude is higher than 11 kV. There are emerging pathways to generate hydrocarbons C2H4 and C2H2 in the plasma-assisted combustion, the reactions of CH4 on CH and C2H on H2, respectively. The reactions involving active species such as H play a significant role in the plasma-assisted combustion, which causes an obvious decrease in the densities of these active species with plasma assistance.

A chemically stabilized sulfur cathode for lean electrolyte lithium sulfur batteries.

Project description:Lithium sulfur batteries (LSBs) are promising next-generation rechargeable batteries due to the high gravimetric energy, low cost, abundance, nontoxicity, and high sustainability of sulfur. However, the dissolution of high-order polysulfide in electrolytes and low Coulombic efficiency of Li anode require excess electrolytes and Li metal, which significantly reduce the energy density of LSBs. Quasi-solid-state LSBs, where sulfur is encapsulated in the micropores of carbon matrix and sealed by solid electrolyte interphase, can operate under lean electrolyte conditions, but a low sulfur loading in carbon matrix (<40 wt %) and low sulfur unitization (<70%) still limit the energy density in a cell level. Here, we significantly increase the sulfur loading in carbon to 60 wt % and sulfur utilization to ?87% by dispersing sulfur in an oxygen-rich dense carbon host at a molecular level through strong chemical interactions of C-S and O-S. In an all-fluorinated organic lean electrolyte, the C/S cathode experiences a solid-state lithiation/delithiation reaction after the formation of solid electrolyte interphase in the first deep lithiation, completely avoiding the shuttle reaction. The chemically stabilized C/S composite retains a high reversible capacity of 541 mAh?g-1 (based on the total weight of the C/S composite) for 200 cycles under lean electrolyte conditions, corresponding to a high energy density of 974 Wh?kg-1 The superior electrochemical performance of the chemical bonding-stabilized C/S composite renders it a promising cathode material for high-energy and long-cycle-life LSBs.

Synthesis of a Highly Stable Pd@CeO<sub>2</sub> Catalyst for Methane Combustion with the Synergistic Effect of Urea and Citric Acid.

Project description:Making use of synergy between urea and citric acid, a core-shell Pd@CeO2 catalyst with spherical morphology was facilely synthesized by a hydrothermal method. The formation mechanism of the core-shell structure in the presence of citric acid and hydrogen peroxide was studied. Results showed that the Pd@CeO2 catalyst exhibited high catalytic activity in methane oxidation. Pd nanoparticles were well stabilized by CeO2 shell encapsulation, resulting in high stability of the catalyst. A high CH4 conversion of 99% was retained after 50 h on-stream reaction at 500 °C. Additionally, many tiny pores on the CeO2 shell surface were beneficial for the full contact between reactants and active components. Pd nanoparticles were highly dispersed inside the shell, improving the utilization efficiency of active components. The results also demonstrated that the Pd species in the catalyst existed in the form of oxidation state, mainly in PdO (ca. 66.6%), which played an essential part in methane combustion.

Structural Insight into La0.5Ca0.5Mn0.5Co0.5O3 Decomposition in the Methane Combustion Process.

Project description:Perovskite-like solid solution La0.5Ca0.5Mn0.5Co0.5O3 was tested during the total methane combustion reaction. During the reaction, there is a noticeable decrease in methane conversion, the rate of catalyst deactivation increasing with an increase in temperature. The in situ XRD and HRTEM methods show that the observed deactivation occurs as a result of the segregation of calcite and cobalt oxide particles on the perovskite surface. According to the TGA, the observed drop in catalytic activity is also associated with a large loss of oxygen from the perovskite structure.

CO2 Methanation: Nickel-Alumina Catalyst Prepared by Solid-State Combustion.

Project description:The development of solvent-free methods for the synthesis of catalysts is one of the main tasks of green chemistry. A nickel-alumina catalyst for CO2 methanation was synthesized by solid-state combustion method using hexakis-(imidazole) nickel (II) nitrate complex. Using X-ray Powder Diffraction (XRD), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Hydrogen temperature-programmed reduction (H2-TPR), it was shown that the synthesized catalyst is characterized by the localization of easily reduced nickel oxide on alumina surface. This provided low-temperature activation of the catalyst in the reaction mixture containing 4 vol% CO2. In addition, the synthesized catalyst had higher activity in low-temperature CO2 methanation compared to industrial NIAP-07-01 catalyst, which contained almost three times more hard-to-reduce nickel-aluminum spinel. Thus, the proposed approaches to the synthesis and activation of the catalyst make it possible to simplify the catalyst preparation procedure and to abandon the use of solvents, which must be disposed of later on.

Reduced Reaction Mechanisms for Ethanol under Ultra-lean Conditions in Internal Combustion Engines.

Project description:Chemical kinetics models for ethanol under ultra-lean engine conditions were evaluated to couple with CFD multidimensional simulations of a spark-assisted homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) rotary engine. Five reduced reaction sets proper for CFD simulations and two detailed reaction mechanisms for comparison were tested by simulating ignition delay times, laminar flame speeds, and a single-cycle HCCI engine with virtual piston dimensions. The simulated results of the new mechanism with 188 reactions were well-fitted to both experimental ignition delay times for ultra-lean ethanol/air conditions and laminar flame speeds at high pressures. This reaction set resulted in better-simulated ignition delay times at 30 and 40 bar for ultra-lean ethanol/air conditions than other chemical kinetics models. Maximum temperatures and pressures of 2500-2580 K and 280-289 bar, respectively, were observed for hydrous ethanol/air under ultra-lean conditions in HCCI engine. In addition, the simulation results of the HCCI ethanol engine presented high pressure rise rates of 8-26 bar/CAD at 3600 rpm. These results indicated that the engine test should be carried out at 2500 rpm with 2 bar of boost pressure for CFD model calibration with the new optimized reaction mechanism.

Improved catalytic combustion of methane using CuO nanobelts with predominantly (001) surfaces.

Project description:Through computational calculations, CuO(001) has been identified as an active surface for methane oxidation. Experimental validation with CuO nanobelts comprised of predominantly (001) surfaces has been performed and it is confirmed that the performance of such nanobelts is much higher than normal nanoparticles and nanowires. First principle calculations further clarified that two-coordinated oxygen plays a key role for methane adsorption and oxidation.

Characteristics for Oxygen-Lean Combustion and Residual Thermodynamics in Coalfield-Fire Zones within Axial Pressure.

Project description:Coalfield fires during coal mining have become a major problem in the world today. To effectively prevent such disasters, we established an experimental platform to measure the spontaneous combustion characteristics of large-scale pressurized coal; thermal analysis experiments and microscopic analysis of briquettes under different axial pressures were carried out. It can be seen from the results that when the axial pressure is 4 MPa, the heating rate of the oxidative combustion of coal samples is accelerated, the crossing point temperature is lower (reduced by 71.09 °C), the activation energy is reduced (the second stage is decreased by 21.3 kJ/mol), and the oxidative combustion is more intense. Simultaneously, the porosity evolution process of briquettes under different axial pressures is simulated. Through calculation, it can be seen that the porosity and thermal conductivity show a linear increasing trend. The basis for the increase in the internal oxygen supply channels and increase in oxygen consumption when the axial pressure is 4 MPa is given. Through thermogravimetric-differential scanning calorimetry analysis, it is found that the maximum mass loss rate and maximum mass growth rate of residual coal after combustion under an axial pressure of 4 MPa are low, the residual rate after combustion is large, and the flammability rate is low when reoxidized, while complete combustion oxidation releases more heat. The application of axial pressure will change the combustion characteristics of briquettes, and the promotion effect is more obvious at 4 MPa. Analyzing the laws of the coal-oxygen composite reaction under different axial pressures provides theoretical guidance for the prevention and control of multistress coupling fields in coalfield-fire areas.

Non-Noble Metal Oxide Catalysts for Methane Catalytic Combustion: Sonochemical Synthesis and Characterisation.

Project description:The aim of this study was to obtain nanocrystalline mixed metal-oxide-ZrO? catalysts via a sonochemically-induced preparation method. The effect of a stabiliser's addition on the catalyst parameters was investigated by several characterisation methods including X-ray Diffraction (XRD), nitrogen adsorption, X-ray fluorescence (XRF), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) equipped with energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and µRaman. The sonochemical preparation method allowed us to manufacture the catalysts with uniformly dispersed metal-oxide nanoparticles at the support surface. The catalytic activity was tested in a methane combustion reaction. The activity of the catalysts prepared by the sonochemical method was higher than that of the reference catalysts prepared by the incipient wetness method without ultrasonic irradiation. The cobalt and chromium mixed zirconia catalysts revealed their high activities, which are comparable with those presented in the literature.
