Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of catalyst technology, specifically to a methane-carbon dioxide reforming catalyst and its preparation method, as well as a method for methane-carbon dioxide reforming reaction. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, with the continuous development of industry, CO2 emissions in the atmosphere have been increasing, leading to global warming. Effectively utilizing CO2 as a resource can not only reduce CO2 emissions, but also provide a new resource for social development.
[0003] Methane reforming to syngas is an effective way to utilize CO2 while using relatively inexpensive natural gas to produce syngas (CO + H2), which can be further converted into other high-value-added downstream hydrocarbon products. However, the biggest problem with this reaction process is that the catalysts used in methane reforming to syngas are mainly nickel-based catalysts, which are prone to carbon deposition. If the carbon deposition problem cannot be effectively solved, it will severely limit the stability of the catalyst and the industrialization process.
[0004] Perovskites have become a focus of attention in many fields due to their excellent electrical conductivity, magnetism, thermoelectricity, piezoelectricity, and other properties, as well as their low preparation cost and thermodynamic and mechanical stability at high temperatures. Perovskite composite oxide materials are excellent conductors of oxygen ions and electrons under high-temperature conditions, and can release oxygen even under inert conditions, and can replenish oxygen through the Redox process. Therefore, using perovskite oxides as catalysts for methane-carbon dioxide reforming can effectively eliminate carbon deposits on the catalyst surface, thereby helping to improve the catalyst's resistance to carbon deposition. However, the catalyst activity and resistance to carbon deposition are still not entirely ideal. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the problems of insufficient activity, poor stability, and poor anti-coking performance of existing methane-carbon dioxide reforming catalysts, and to provide a methane-carbon dioxide reforming catalyst and its preparation method, as well as a method for methane-carbon dioxide reforming reaction. The catalyst prepared by this method has good anti-coking ability and good catalytic activity.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, a first aspect of the present invention provides a method for preparing a methane-carbon dioxide reforming catalyst, the method comprising:
[0007] (1) In the presence of a first solvent, a soluble compound of Ce, a porous carbon material, and a first complexing agent are mixed to obtain a first mixture; the porous carbon material has a specific surface area of 50-400 m². 2 / g;
[0008] (2) The first mixture is reacted to form a gel, and then subjected to a first calcination to obtain a CeO2 support;
[0009] (3) The La-Ni perovskite precursor is brought into contact with the CeO2 support and then subjected to a second calcination.
[0010] Preferably, based on the total amount of CeO2 support and La-Ni perovskite precursor calculated as LaNiO3, the content of CeO2 support is 20-60 wt%, preferably 30-50 wt%; and the content of La-Ni perovskite precursor calculated as LaNiO3 is 40-80 wt%, preferably 50-70 wt%.
[0011] Preferably, the method for preparing the La-Ni perovskite precursor includes: mixing a La source, a Ni source, and a solvent under stirring conditions in the presence of a second complexing agent, wherein the mixing temperature is 30-80°C and the mixing time is 6-13 h.
[0012] A second aspect of the present invention provides a methane-carbon dioxide reforming catalyst prepared by the above-described preparation method.
[0013] A third aspect of the present invention provides a method for a methane-carbon dioxide reforming reaction, comprising: contacting methane and carbon dioxide with a catalyst under reforming reaction conditions, wherein the catalyst is the aforementioned methane-carbon dioxide reforming catalyst.
[0014] The preparation method provided by this invention first synthesizes a porous CeO2 support using a template method, and then contacts the CeO2 support with a La-Ni perovskite precursor. The inventors discovered that by contacting the La-Ni perovskite precursor with porous CeO2, La-Ni perovskite oxide is generated on the CeO2 surface. The resulting catalyst, used in the methane-carbon dioxide reforming reaction, significantly enhances the catalyst's catalytic activity and resistance to carbon deposition. This is likely because CeO2 with a certain number and structure of pores can form a strong interaction with the particles in the La-Ni perovskite precursor. This interaction improves the dispersibility of the La-Ni perovskite oxide and effectively controls its crystal structure. Simultaneously, it fully utilizes the abundant oxygen vacancies within cerium dioxide and the specific semiconductor properties of perovskite oxides, achieving a synergistic effect between these two properties and significantly improving the electron transfer capability of the active centers in the perovskite oxide.

[0017] The endpoints and any values of the ranges disclosed herein are not limited to the precise ranges or values, and these ranges or values should be understood to include values close to these ranges or values. For numerical ranges, the endpoint values of the various ranges, the endpoint values of the various ranges and individual point values, and individual point values can be combined with each other to obtain one or more new numerical ranges, which should be considered as specifically disclosed herein.
[0018] The first aspect of this invention provides a method for preparing a methane-carbon dioxide reforming catalyst, the method comprising:
[0019] (1) In the presence of a first solvent, a soluble compound of Ce, a porous carbon material, and a first complexing agent are mixed to obtain a first mixture; the porous carbon material has a specific surface area of 50-400 m². 2 / g;
[0020] (2) The first mixture is reacted to form a gel, and then subjected to a first calcination to obtain a CeO2 support;
[0021] (3) The La-Ni perovskite precursor is brought into contact with the CeO2 support and then subjected to a second calcination.
[0022] According to this invention, a porous carbon material is first used as a CeO2 support, and the pore structure of the CeO2 support is adjusted by utilizing the porous carbon material with an appropriate number of pores. Then, a La-Ni perovskite precursor is contacted with the CeO2 support to generate La-Ni perovskite oxide on the CeO2 surface. This catalyst, used in the methane-carbon dioxide reforming reaction, can significantly improve the catalyst's catalytic activity and resistance to carbon deposition. The reason for this is likely that the CeO2 with a certain number and structure of pores can form a strong interaction with the particles in the La-Ni perovskite precursor, which can both improve the dispersibility of the La-Ni perovskite oxide and significantly enhance the electron transfer capability of the active centers of the perovskite oxide.
[0023] In this invention, a specific surface area of 50-400 m² is used. 2 Using porous carbon material with a certain number of pores as a template, CeO2 support is prepared. After the porous carbon material is removed by the first calcination, CeO2 support with an appropriate pore structure is formed. CeO2 with a certain number of pores and pore structure can form a strong interaction with the particles in the La-Ni perovskite precursor, which can not only improve the dispersibility of La-Ni perovskite oxide, but also significantly improve the electron transfer ability of the active center of perovskite oxide, thereby improving the catalytic activity and anti-carbon deposition performance of the catalyst.
[0024] In this invention, the specific surface area of the porous carbon material can be 50-400 m². 2 Any value between / g, for example, 50m 2 / g、60m 2 / g, 70m 2 / g、80m 2 / g、90m 2 / g, 100m 2 / g、110m 2 / g、120m 2 / g、130m 2 / g, 140m 2 / g, 150m 2 / g、160m 2 / g、170m 2 / g、180m 2 / g、190m 2 / g、200m 2 / g、210m 2 / g、220m 2 / g、230m 2 / g、250m 2 / g、280m 2 / g、300m 2 / g, 350m 2 / g、400m 2 The specific surface area is typically defined as a value such as / g or a range between the two, preferably 100-250m². 2 / g. Using porous carbon materials with the above-mentioned preferred specific surface area, the prepared CeO2 has a suitable pore structure, thereby improving the dispersion ability of perovskite oxide on the CeO2 surface and the synergistic ability between the two, which is beneficial to further improve the catalytic activity and anti-carbon deposition performance of the catalyst.
[0025] In some preferred embodiments, the porous carbon material has a relatively regular pore structure. Preferably, the average pore size of the porous carbon material is 5-20 nm, and more preferably 8-15 nm.

[0027] This invention allows for a wide range of specific types of porous carbon materials. Any porous carbon material possessing the aforementioned number and structure of pores, and capable of being removed by subsequent calcination, can be used in this invention. Furthermore, this invention does not impose any particular limitation on the source of the porous carbon material; it can be commercially available or prepared using any method known in the art.

The La-Ni perovskite precursor refers to a mixture of La-Ni perovskite that can be obtained through gelation and calcination, and can be a solution or a sol. Preferably, the La-Ni perovskite precursor is in a sol state. Using the above-mentioned preferred embodiments is beneficial for further improving the dispersibility of La-Ni perovskite on the CeO2 support surface, and further improving the catalyst activity and anti-carbon deposition performance.

[0049] Preferably, the total molar amount of the La source and Ni source, calculated as metal elements, is in a molar ratio of 0.5-3:1 to the second complexing agent, more preferably 0.6-2:1.
[0050] Preferably, the amount of solvent used is such that the total concentration of the La source and Ni source, calculated as metal elements, is 0.3-2 mol / L, more preferably 1-2 mol / L.
[0051] In this invention, the selection range for the specific types of La and Ni sources is relatively wide. Soluble organic or inorganic salts of metals can be used in this invention, for example, at least one selected from metal nitrates, acetates, and oxalates. The La and Ni sources may also contain water of crystallization, as is well known to those skilled in the art.
[0052] Preferably, the contact temperature in step (3) is 60-90℃, and more preferably 60-80℃.
[0053] According to the present invention, in step (3), the method of contacting the La-Ni perovskite precursor with the CeO2 support includes: mixing the La-Ni perovskite precursor with the CeO2 support under stirring conditions. The present invention does not have special requirements for the mixing conditions, as long as the La-Ni perovskite precursor and the CeO2 support are mixed evenly.
[0054] The present invention has a wide range of solvents that can be selected, and can be the same as the range of solvents selected for the first solvent.
[0055] According to the present invention, preferably, the catalyst prepared comprises a CeO2 support and a La-Ni perovskite, wherein the general molecular formula of the La-Ni perovskite can be represented as LaNiO3.
[0056] According to some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the CeO2 support content is 20-60 wt%, preferably 30-50 wt%, based on the total amount of the CeO2 support and the La-Ni perovskite precursor calculated as LaNiO3; for example, it can be a typical but not limiting content value such as 30 wt%, 35 wt%, 40 wt%, 45 wt%, 50 wt%, or a range between the two; the La-Ni perovskite precursor content is 40-80 wt%, preferably 50-70 wt%, for example, it can be a typical but not limiting content value such as 50 wt%, 55 wt%, 60 wt%, 65 wt%, 70 wt%, or a range between the two.

[0059] S1. In the presence of a first solvent, a soluble compound of Ce, a porous carbon material, and a first complexing agent are mixed to obtain a first mixture; the porous carbon material has a specific surface area of 100-250 m². 2 / g;
[0060] S2. React the first mixture to form a gel, and then perform a first calcination to obtain a CeO2 support;

[0063] The preferred embodiment described above is beneficial for further enhancing the interaction between the La-Ni perovskite and the support in the catalyst, thereby improving its resistance to carbon deposition. The reason for this is likely that CeO2 with a certain number and structure of pores can form a strong interaction with the particles in the La-Ni perovskite precursor. This interaction improves the dispersibility of the La-Ni perovskite oxide and effectively controls its crystal structure. Simultaneously, it fully utilizes the abundant oxygen vacancies within cerium dioxide and the specific semiconductor properties of perovskite oxides, achieving a synergistic effect between these two characteristics. This significantly improves the electron transfer capability of the active centers of the perovskite oxide. This effectively prevents methane cracking and carbon deposition during the reaction. Furthermore, even if a small amount of carbon deposits form on the catalyst surface, the catalyst's unique electronic properties allow the carbon deposits to react rapidly with the carbon generated during the reaction, thus eliminating the carbon deposits.

It is understood that when the catalyst consists only of the CeO2 support and the La-Ni perovskite supported on the CeO2 support, the sum of their contents satisfies the 100% principle.
[0066] The catalyst may also contain a very small amount of NiO, but the content of NiO is negligible in this invention.
[0067] In this invention, the content of each component in the catalyst is obtained by X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF) characterization method.
[0068] The presence of a La-Ni perovskite structure in the catalyst was confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD).
[0069] Preferably, the catalyst has a specific surface area of 50-250 m². 2 / g, preferably 100-180m 2 / g.
