Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of catalyst technology, specifically to a composite catalyst for the reforming reaction of methane dry gas with high resistance to carbon deposition and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Methane dry gas reforming is an effective way to simultaneously utilize methane and carbon dioxide, two greenhouse gases. The resulting syngas (a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide) can be directly used as a feedstock for carbonyl synthesis, hydroformylation, and Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, offering both economic and environmental benefits. A crucial step in realizing methane dry gas reforming technology is the preparation of a highly efficient and inexpensive catalyst. Ni-based catalysts offer a perfect balance between economic efficiency and catalytic activity, and are considered the most ideal catalysts. However, this process has not yet been industrialized, with the bottleneck being the high temperatures leading to coking of Ni-based catalysts and sintering of active components.
[0003] To address the above issues, researchers have conducted extensive research and proposed various solutions. Bimetallic catalysts, due to their synergistic effect, often exhibit superior catalytic performance compared to monometallic catalysts. Previous studies have shown that although Mo itself has low activity in dry gas reforming, introducing Mo species into Ni-based catalysts can significantly modulate their reaction performance, particularly enhancing catalyst stability. Research indicates that the strong interaction between the partially filled d orbitals of Mo₂C and C atoms helps disperse and migrate carbon species on the adsorption surface. This interaction reduces the deposition and aggregation of carbon species on the catalyst surface, thereby effectively inhibiting coke formation. The mechanism of action of the Ni-Mo dual-active-site system in dry gas reforming is: metallic Ni and MoO₂... x C y These sites serve as activation sites for CH4 and CO2, respectively, while the carbon produced by CH4 cracking on metallic Ni is activated by MoO. x with MoO x C y Carbon removal is achieved through a cycle. The design of bimetallic sites is crucial for maintaining the equilibrium of this system. Studies by da Silva et al. on Ni-Mo systems on different supports revealed that, compared to SiO2 and Al2O3, catalysts on SiC exhibited superior performance and minimal filamentous carbon within a wider Ni:Mo ratio range. The authors suggest that the strong interaction between Ni and SiC is beneficial for suppressing Ni component migration and propose that the close contact between Ni and Mo2C is a key factor in forming a carbon removal cycle (see Journal of Catalysis, 2019, 375, 507-518). Furthermore, Ishikawa et al., in their study of chemical looping dry gas reforming using Ni-(α-MoC) / Al2O3 as an oxygen storage material for periodic reduction and re-oxidation cycles, found that the MoC generated in situ during the reaction... x Oy and Ni-MoC x O y The interface significantly reduces the CH4 activation temperature and maintains extremely high activity and stability even after 1140 cycles (see Chem, 2023, 9, 102-116). It should be noted that previous studies have generally followed the approach of constructing tightly contacted Ni-Mo active sites as a starting point for overcoming the coking problem. However, establishing a delicate balance between coking and decoking on Ni-Mo bifunctional sites remains challenging. To date, no Ni-Mo catalytic system possessing both high activity and high resistance to coking has been reported. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a composite catalyst with high resistance to carbon deposition in methane dry gas reforming and its application, in order to solve the problem that Ni-based catalysts used in current methane dry gas reforming reactions are prone to carbon deposition, leading to rapid catalyst deactivation.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A composite catalyst for the reforming reaction of methane dry gas with high resistance to carbon deposition is provided. The composite catalyst is composed of three components: a supported nickel-based catalyst, a nitrogen-doped carbon-supported molybdenum catalyst, and an inert support.
[0007] Furthermore, in the supported nickel-based catalyst, the active component is Ni, existing in elemental or / and oxide form; or the first active component is Ni, existing in elemental or / and oxide form, and the second active component includes one or more of Zn, Mn, Fe, La, In, and Ga, existing in elemental or / and oxide form; the support includes activated alumina, magnesium oxide, silicon dioxide, or zirconium oxide.
[0008] Furthermore, in the supported nickel-based catalyst, the mass fraction of Ni is 5-40%.
[0009] Furthermore, in the nitrogen-doped carbon-supported molybdenum catalyst, the active component is Mo, which exists in the form of oxides and / or carbides and / or carbon oxides; the support is nitrogen-doped carbon.
[0010] Furthermore, in the nitrogen-doped carbon-supported molybdenum catalyst, the mass fraction of Mo is 5-40%.
[0011] Furthermore, the nitrogen in the nitrogen-doped carbon has a nitrogen mass fraction of 0.5% to 9%.
[0012] Furthermore, the inert carrier includes activated alumina, silicon dioxide, or zirconium oxide.
[0013] Furthermore, in the composite catalyst, the mass ratio of the supported nickel-based catalyst to the nitrogen-doped carbon-supported molybdenum catalyst is 0.5 to 5:1, and the mass fraction of the inert support is 10% to 80%.
[0014] When the composite catalyst is compounded, the three components of supported nickel-based catalyst, nitrogen-doped carbon-supported molybdenum catalyst and inert support are mixed and ground evenly in proportion, and then formed by powder pressing or extrusion. The powder is crushed and sieved to obtain 20-40 mesh for use in the reaction.
[0015] The above-mentioned high-carbon-resistant composite catalyst for methane dry gas reforming is applied in the methane dry gas reforming reaction. In application, the composite catalyst is loaded into a fixed-bed reactor. First, the composite catalyst is reduced in situ with hydrogen. Then, a mixture of methane and carbon dioxide is introduced into the fixed-bed reactor for gas-solid phase reaction to obtain syngas.
[0016] Furthermore, the reduction conditions are as follows: hydrogen flow rate of 30–100 ml / min, reduction temperature of 400–800 °C, reduction time of 3–12 h, and reduction pressure of atmospheric pressure;
[0017] The reaction conditions were as follows: the molar ratio of methane to carbon dioxide in the gas mixture was 0.8–1.2:1, and the gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) was 36,000–144,000 mL·g. cat -1 ·h -1 The reaction temperature is 750–900℃, and the reaction pressure is atmospheric pressure.
[0018] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0019] This invention discloses a composite catalyst composed of a supported nickel-based catalyst, a nitrogen-doped carbon-supported molybdenum catalyst, and an inert support. After hydrogen reduction, this catalyst exhibits excellent activity and stability under high space velocity conditions in methane dry gas reforming, overcoming the deficiency of Ni-based catalysts in methane dry gas reforming that are prone to coking and deactivation under high-temperature conditions. Compared to the corresponding single Ni-based catalyst, this composite catalyst has significant performance advantages, specifically in that it can greatly improve the catalyst's resistance to coking and extend its service life while maintaining comparable methane and carbon dioxide conversion rates.
[0020] The innovation of this composite catalyst lies in proposing a strategy of dispersing Ni and Mo active components on different supports, particularly the first-time proposal to disperse Mo on nitrogen-doped carbon. This strategy of separating the two active components, Ni and Mo, is entirely different from previous approaches that synthesize Ni-Mo active components with close contact on the same support or directly disperse Ni on a Mo2C support. Because the Mo active component on the nitrogen-doped carbon support possesses excellent carbonization capabilities, it can promptly remove coke deposits on the surface of the Ni active component during the methane dry gas reforming reaction, while simultaneously preventing the oxidative deactivation of the Mo active component itself, thus maintaining both high activity and high stability.

[0024] The supported nickel-based catalyst is prepared by impregnation, ion exchange, or co-precipitation methods, with Ni as the active component, existing in elemental or / and oxide form; or the first active component is Ni, existing in elemental or / and oxide form, and the second active component includes one or more of Zn, Mn, Fe, La, In, and Ga, existing in elemental or / and oxide form; the support includes activated alumina, magnesium oxide, silica, or zirconium oxide. In the supported nickel-based catalyst, the mass fraction of Ni is 5–40%.
[0025] The nitrogen-doped carbon-supported molybdenum catalyst (Mo / NC catalyst) is prepared by impregnation method, with Mo as the active component, existing in the form of oxides and / or carbides and / or carbon oxides; the support is nitrogen-doped carbon. In the nitrogen-doped carbon-supported molybdenum catalyst, the mass fraction of Mo is 5-40%. In the nitrogen-doped carbon, the mass fraction of nitrogen is 0.5-9%.
[0026] The inert carrier includes activated alumina, silicon dioxide, or zirconium oxide.
[0027] In the composite catalyst, the mass ratio of the supported nickel-based catalyst to the nitrogen-doped carbon-supported molybdenum catalyst is 0.5 to 5:1, and the mass fraction of the inert support is 10% to 80%.
[0028] The composite catalyst is prepared by mixing and grinding three components—supported nickel-based catalyst, nitrogen-doped carbon-supported molybdenum catalyst, and inert support—in a certain proportion, then forming the catalyst into tablets or extrusion strips, and finally crushing and sieving it to obtain a 20-40 mesh sample for use in the reaction.
[0029] The above-mentioned high-carbon-resistant composite catalyst for methane dry gas reforming is applied in the methane dry gas reforming reaction.

[0030] In each embodiment, the conversion rate and selectivity are calculated using the following formulas (all units of measurement are molar amounts):
[0031] Methane conversion rate = (methane in feed gas – methane in product) / methane in feed gas × 100%
[0032] Carbon dioxide conversion rate = (Carbon dioxide in feed gas – Carbon dioxide in product) / Carbon dioxide in feed gas × 100%
[0033] Hydrogen to carbon monoxide ratio = Hydrogen in products / Carbon monoxide in products
[0034] The qualitative and quantitative analysis of the raw materials and products before and after the methane dry gas reforming reaction was performed on an Agilent gas chromatograph 7890, and the component analysis was performed using a TDX-01 packed column with a Porapak Q and a TCD detector.

[0096]
[0097]
[0098] Comparative Examples 1-10 show that the conversion rates of both methane and carbon dioxide decreased when different types of supported Ni-based catalysts were used alone, indicating varying degrees of catalyst deactivation. Conversely, the novel catalysts obtained by combining different types of supported Ni-based catalysts with Mo / NC catalysts in Examples 1-10 exhibited an increasing activity trend in the methane dry gas reforming reaction, demonstrating that the presence of Mo / NC catalysts can significantly enhance the catalyst's resistance to coking, thereby improving its stability.
[0099] Comparative Example 11 shows that when Ni and Mo are simultaneously loaded onto the active alumina support, the reactivity is much lower than that of Ni / Al2O3, thus failing to achieve both high activity and high stability. This further confirms the role of NC in the composite catalytic system.
[0100] As can be seen from Example 11, Ni / ZrO2-MnO x The ZnO|Mo / NC-4|ZrO2 composite catalyst exhibits an induction period in the methane dry gas reforming reaction, followed by a long-term stable activity, demonstrating the excellent anti-coking performance and great application potential of this novel catalytic system.
