The invention relates to a
nickel-
magnesium-
chromium mesoporous
composite oxide catalyst for auto-thermal reforming of
acetic acid to produce
hydrogen. The invention aims to solve the problem that inthe prior art, during the
acetic acid auto-thermal reforming process, the structure of a conventional catalyst changes, the
active components are oxidized and sintered, and thus the catalyst is deactivated, and provides a novel catalyst having the advantages of stable structure,
sintering resistance,
carbon deposition resistance,
oxidation resistance and
high activity. The
chemical formula of thecatalyst is (NiO)a(MgO)b(CrO1.5)c; wherein a is 0.08-0.12, b is 0.55-0.92, c is 0-0.33, and
nickel oxide accounts for 12.0 to 20.0 wt.% of the catalyst,
magnesium oxide accounts for 40.0 to 88.0 wt.%of the catalyst, and
chromium oxide accounts for 0 to 40.0 wt.% of the catalyst. A catalyst precursor is prepared by a co-
precipitation method,
chromium is introduced into the catalyst and is taken asan auxiliary agent; after burning, a stable mesoporous
composite oxide catalyst, which comprises a MgCr2O4 and NiCr2O4
spinel structure and a Mg-Ni-Cr-O
solid solution, is formed; the reducing performance and stability of the
active components are enhanced; at the same time, the
hydrogen yield of
acetic acid auto-thermal reforming,
sintering resistant performance, and
carbon deposition resistantperformance are all strengthened.
