Zirconium-Assisted Activation of Palladium To Boost Syngas Production by Methane Dry Reforming.

ABSTRACT: C-saturated Pd0 nanoparticles with an extended phase boundary to ZrO2 evolve from a Pd0 Zr0 precatalyst under CH4 dry reforming conditions. This highly active catalyst state fosters bifunctional action: CO2 is efficiently activated at oxidic phase boundary sites and Pdx C provides fast supply of C-atoms toward the latter.

Microwave Heating-Assisted Catalytic Dry Reforming of Methane to Syngas.

Project description:Natural gas is a robust and environmentally friendlier alternative to oil resources for energy and chemicals production. However, gas is distributed globally within shales and hydrates, which are generally remote and difficult reserves to produce. The accessibility, transportation, and distribution, therefore, bring major capital costs. With today's low and foreseen low price of natural gas, conversion of natural gas to higher value-added chemicals is highly sought by industry. Dry reforming of methane (DRM) is a technology pathway to convert two critical greenhouse gas components, CH4 and CO2, to syngas, a commodity chemical feedstock. To date, the challenges of carbon deposition on the catalyst and evolution of secondary gas-phase products have prevented the commercial application of the DRM process. The recent exponential growth of renewable electricity resources, wind and solar power, provides a major opportunity to activate reactions by harnessing low-cost carbon-free energy via microwave-heating. This study takes advantage of differences in dielectric properties of materials to enable selective heating by microwave to create a large thermal gradient between a catalyst surface and the gas phase. Consequently, the reaction kinetics at the higher temperature catalyst surface are promoted while the reactions of lower temperature secondary gas-phase are reduced.

Experimental Study on Dry Reforming of Biogas for Syngas Production over Ni-Based Catalysts.

Project description:Syngas production from dry reforming of biogas (DRB) is studied experimentally in this work. Ni/Al2O3, Pt/Al2O3, and Pt-Ni/Al2O3 are used as catalysts to examine the effect of CO2 content in biogas and H2O addition on DRB performance for reaction temperatures in the 600–800 °C range. It is found that the bimetallic Pt–Ni catalyst exhibits the best activity and thermal stability among the three types of catalysts studied due to better carbon deposition resistance. Because CO2 functions as the oxidant in combustion, CH4 conversion is enhanced when the biogas contains more CO2. One hundred percent CO2 conversion can be reached for biogas containing a less amount of CO2 at high temperatures. With H2O addition in DRB, the steam reforming of methane (SRM) reaction is the dominant reaction, resulting in higher H2 and CO yields with biogas containing lesser amounts of CO2. However, lower CH4 conversion and negative CO2 conversion do result. With higher CO2 content in the biogas, higher CH4 and CO2 conversions can be obtained. Lower yields of H2 and CO are obtained due to less SRM dominance. With H2O addition in biogas, the H2/CO ratio with a value greater than 1 can be obtained from DRB. It is also found that the H2/CO ratio with a value of 2.1 can be obtained for reactant composition with a molar ratio of CH4/CO2/H2O = 1:0.25:1 and reaction temperature of 800 °C.

NiYAl-Derived Nanoporous Catalysts for Dry Reforming of Methane.

Project description:Dry reforming of methane can be used for suppressing the rapid growth of greenhouse gas emissions. However, its practical implementation generally requires high temperatures. In this study, we report an optimal catalyst for low-temperature dry reforming of methane with high carbon coking resistance synthesized from NiYAl alloy. A facile two-step process consisting of preferential oxidation and leaching was utilized to produce structurally robust nanoporous Ni metal and Y oxides from NiYAl4. The catalyst exhibited an optimal carbon balance (0.96) close to the ideal value of 1.0, indicating the optimized dry reforming pathway. This work proposes a facile route of the structural control of active metal/oxide sites for realizing highly active catalysts with long-term durability.

Nanoporous Nickel Composite Catalyst for the Dry Reforming of Methane.

Project description:The development of efficient catalysts with high activities and durabilities for use in the dry reforming of methane (DRM) is desirable but challenging. We report the development of a nanoporous nickel composite (nanoporous Ni/Y2O3) via a facile one-step dealloying technique, for use in the DRM. Focusing on the low-temperature DRM, our composite possessed remarkable activity and durability against coking compared with conventional particle-based Ni catalysts. This was attributed to the aluminum oxides present on the Ni surface, which suppress pore coarsening. In addition, the inert bundled Y2O3 nanowires are suitable for use as substrates for nanoporous Ni.

Biogas Reforming to Syngas: A Review.

Project description:Interest in novel uses of biogas has increased recently due to concerns about climate change and greater emphasis on renewable energy sources. Although biogas is frequently used in low-value applications such as heating and fuel in engines or even just flared, reforming is an emerging strategy for converting biogas to syngas, which could then be used to obtain high-value-added liquid fuels and chemicals. Interest also exists due to the role of dry, bi-, and tri-reforming in the capture and utilization of CO2. New research efforts have explored efficient and effective reforming catalysts, as specifically applied to biogas. In this paper, we review recent developments in dry, bi-, and tri-reforming, where the CO2 in biogas is used as an oxidant/partial oxidant. The synthesis, characterization, lifetime, deactivation, and regeneration of candidate reforming catalysts are discussed in detail. The thermodynamic limitation and techno-economics of biogas conversion are also discussed.

Atomically dispersed nickel as coke-resistant active sites for methane dry reforming.

Project description:Dry reforming of methane (DRM) is an attractive route to utilize CO2 as a chemical feedstock with which to convert CH4 into valuable syngas and simultaneously mitigate both greenhouse gases. Ni-based DRM catalysts are promising due to their high activity and low cost, but suffer from poor stability due to coke formation which has hindered their commercialization. Herein, we report that atomically dispersed Ni single atoms, stabilized by interaction with Ce-doped hydroxyapatite, are highly active and coke-resistant catalytic sites for DRM. Experimental and computational studies reveal that isolated Ni atoms are intrinsically coke-resistant due to their unique ability to only activate the first C-H bond in CH4, thus avoiding methane deep decomposition into carbon. This discovery offers new opportunities to develop large-scale DRM processes using earth abundant catalysts.

Morphology-Dependent Catalytic Activity of Ru/CeO? in Dry Reforming of Methane.

Project description:Three morphology-controlled CeO?, namely nanorods (NRs), nanocubes (NCs), and nanopolyhedra (NPs), with different mainly exposed crystal facets of (110), (100), and (111), respectively, have been used as supports to prepare Ru (3 wt.%) nanoparticle-loaded catalysts. The catalysts were characterized by H?-temperature programmed reduction (H?-TPR), CO? temperature programmed desorption (CO-TPD), N? adsorption?desorption, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (XDS). The characterization results showed that CeO?-NRs, CeO?-NCs, and CeO?-NPs mainly expose (110), (100) and (111) facets, respectively. Moreover, CeO?-NRs and CeO?-NCs present higher oxygen vacancy concentration than CeO?-NPs. In the CO? reforming of methane reaction, Ru/CeO?-NR and Ru/CeO?-NC catalysts showed better catalytic performance than Ru/CeO?-NPs, indicating that the catalysts with high oxygen vacancy concentration are beneficial for promoting catalytic activity.

High Coke-Resistance Pt/Mg1-xNixO Catalyst for Dry Reforming of Methane.

Project description:A highly active and stable nano structured Pt/Mg1-xNixO catalysts was developed by a simple co-precipitation method. The obtained Pt/Mg1-xNixO catalyst exhibited cubic structure nanocatalyst with a size of 50-80 nm and realized CH4 and CO2 conversions as high as 98% at 900°C with excellent stability in the dry reforming of methane. The characterization of catalyst was performed using various kinds of analytical techniques including XRD, BET, XRF, TPR-H2, TGA, TEM, FESEM, FT-IR, and XPS analyses. Characterization of spent catalyst further confirms that Pt/Mg1-xNixO catalyst has high coke-resistance for dry reforming. Thus, the catalyst demonstrated in this study, offers a promising catalyst for resolving the dilemma between dispersion and reducibility of supported metal, as well as activity and stability during high temperature reactions.

Combined Steam Reforming of Methane and Formic Acid To Produce Syngas with an Adjustable H2:CO Ratio.

Project description:Syngas is an important intermediate in the chemical process industry. It is used for the production of hydrocarbons, acetic acid, oxo-alcohols, and other chemicals. Depending on the target product and stoichiometry of the reaction, an optimum (molar) ratio between hydrogen and carbon monoxide (H2:CO) in the syngas is required. Different technologies are available to control the H2:CO molar ratio in the syngas. The combination of steam reforming of methane (SRM) and the water-gas shift (WGS) reaction is the most established approach for syngas production. In this work, to adjust the H2:CO ratio, we have considered formic acid (FA) as a source for both hydrogen and carbon monoxide. Using thermochemical equilibrium calculations, we show that the syngas composition can be controlled by cofeeding formic acid into the SRM process. The H2:CO molar ratio can be adjusted to a value between one and three by adjusting the concentration of FA in the reaction feed. At steam reforming conditions, typically above 900 K, FA can decompose to water and carbon monoxide and/or to hydrogen and carbon dioxide. Our results show that cofeeding FA into the SRM process can adjust the H2:CO molar ratio in a single step. This can potentially be an alternative to the WGS process.

A novel study of methane-rich gas reforming to syngas and its kinetics over semicoke catalyst.

Project description:A small-size gasification unit is improved through process optimization to simulate industrial United Gas Improvement Company gasification. It finds that the reaction temperature has important impacts on semicoke catalyzed methane gas mixture. The addition of water vapor can enhance the catalytic activity of reforming, which is due to the fact that addition of water vapor not only removes carbon deposit produced in the reforming and gasification reaction processes, but also participates in gasification reaction with semicoke to generate some active oxygen-containing functional groups. The active oxygen-containing functional groups provide active sites for carbon dioxide reforming of methane, promoting the reforming reaction. It also finds that the addition of different proportions of methane-rich gas can yield synthesis gas with different H2/CO ratio. The kinetics study shows that the semicoke can reduce the activation energy of the reforming reaction and promote the occurrence of the reforming reaction. The kinetics model of methane reforming under the conditions of steam gasification over semicoke is as follows: [Formula in text].
