Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of catalyst manufacturing, and in particular to a catalyst for heavy oil to methane reforming, and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Currently, the conversion of heavy oil to lighter grades relies primarily on hydrogenation technology, which requires large amounts of hydrogen. Since industrial hydrogen primarily comes from coal and natural gas conversion, the conversion process is complex and costly. Therefore, reducing hydrogen consumption and improving the selectivity of value-added products during the heavy oil to lighter grade conversion process are crucial for improving economic efficiency. Methane, due to its abundant reserves, low cost, and high hydrogen-to-carbon atomic ratio, is widely recognized as a green and inexpensive feedstock for hydrogen production. Research has shown that methane can be activated at 400-600°C and participate in heavy oil upgrading reactions, providing a hydrogen source, increasing carbon content, and optimizing product distribution. This mechanism has the potential to reduce the production cost of hydro-upgrading during the heavy oil to lighter grade conversion process. Consequently, the application of methane in heavy oil upgrading has attracted widespread attention from both academia and industry.

[0003] While research on heavy oil-to-methane reforming has made some progress, the catalysts currently used are ineffective, limiting the application and promotion of this technology. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a new catalyst with improved heavy oil-to-methane reforming performance. Summary of the Invention
