Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a supported bimetallic catalyst, belonging to the field of catalysts. Background Technology
[0002] Volatile organic compounds (VOCs), as one of the main pollutants in flue gas, pose significant threats to the environment and human health. Traditional VOCs treatment methods include adsorption, combustion, and condensation, but these methods suffer from low efficiency, complex operation, and high costs, making it difficult to meet increasingly stringent environmental protection requirements. Therefore, finding efficient and economical VOCs removal technologies has become an important research direction in the current environmental protection field.
[0003] Catalytic reforming is a potential VOCs removal technology. By introducing a suitable catalyst, it utilizes the reforming reaction between CO2 and VOCs to convert VOCs into products such as CO and H2, thus achieving effective removal of VOCs from flue gas. Meanwhile, as CO2 is a major component of flue gas, its utilization helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions and achieve carbon neutrality.
[0004] Nickel (Ni)-based catalysts are the most commonly used catalysts in dry reforming reactions due to their high activation capacity for CH and C-C bonds and their relatively low cost. However, nickel-based catalysts face challenges such as deactivation caused by coke deposition and particle sintering.

[0249] <Catalyst Structure Characterization and Catalytic Performance>
[0250] (Structural characterization of rare earth oxide support (cerium dioxide))
[0251] The morphological characteristics of CeO2 were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM).
[0252] SEM and HR-TEM: such as Figure 1 As shown in (a), the morphological characteristics of CeO2 prepared in the above preparation example were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), confirming its nanorod structure. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) further revealed the structure of the CeO2 nanorods, which had a diameter of 8–17 nm and a length of 30–100 nm, and a large number of pores with a diameter of approximately 2 nm were observed on the nanorods. Figure 1 (b)). The exposed crystal planes of CeO2 show an interplanar spacing of 0.31 nm, which is the characteristic size of the CeO2(111) crystal plane. Figure 1 (c)
[0253] XRD: Figure 2 XRD patterns of the catalysts prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-3 are shown. Characteristic peaks at 28.6°, 33.1°, 47.5°, and 56.4° correspond to the (111), (200), (220), and (311) planes of cubic fluorite CeO2. Furthermore, Ni diffraction peaks were observed at 45.5°, 53.0°, and 78.3° in the monometallic catalyst 3 of Comparative Example 3 and the supported bimetallic catalyst 3 of Example 3, representing the (111), (200), and (220) planes of Ni, respectively. However, these Ni diffraction peaks are not present in other catalysts, indicating high Ni dispersion. The catalysts of Examples 1 and 2 had low Ni loadings, therefore no Ni diffraction peaks were detected. Since the Ru loadings of the catalysts of Examples 1-3 were only 0.2%, no Ru diffraction peaks were detected in any of them.
[0254] (Catalytic performance)
[0255] Activity evaluation experiments were conducted on the catalysts prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-5. The reaction was carried out in a fixed-bed reactor and maintained at 700°C. The CO2 reactant was controlled at a flow rate of 50 mL / min using a mass flow meter. Acetic acid was selected as the model compound for VOCs. Acetic acid was injected into the vaporizer at a rate of 40 µL / min using a syringe pump. The vaporization chamber temperature was 160°C. N2 was introduced into the vaporization chamber at a flow rate of 30 mL / min, carrying the vaporized acetic acid into the fixed-bed reactor. The gaseous products at the outlet of the quartz tube reactor were analyzed using gas chromatography.
[0256] Figure 3 The VOCs dry reforming reaction performance of the catalysts prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-5 is shown. Figure 3 As shown, by comparing the bimetallic catalysts and monometallic catalysts with the same Ni loading (Example 1 vs. Comparative Example 1, Example 2 vs. Comparative Example 2, Example 3 vs. Comparative Example 3), it can be seen that the supported bimetallic catalysts prepared in Examples 1-3 exhibit higher catalytic activity and longer lifespan in the VOCs dry reforming reaction compared to the monometallic catalysts in Comparative Examples 1-3, fully demonstrating their superior catalytic performance. The stability and high efficiency of such supported bimetallic catalysts provide significant potential for industrial applications and are expected to achieve commercialization in the fields of VOCs emission reduction and environmental protection.
[0257] In addition, compared with the Ru / CeO2 monometallic catalyst of Comparative Example 4 and the Ni-Ru / SiO2 catalyst of Comparative Example 5, the supported bimetallic catalysts prepared in Examples 1-3 have higher catalytic activity and longer service life.
