Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to catalysts, and more particularly to a catalyst for the methanation of carbon dioxide. Background Technology
[0002] Carbon dioxide is the final product of the complete combustion of carbonaceous organisms. With the large-scale use of fossil fuels, the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is constantly increasing. To mitigate the environmental impact of carbon dioxide, carbon dioxide capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technology has received widespread attention. Converting CO2 into CH4 through catalytic methods can effectively reduce CO2 emissions, while the generated CH4 can be used as a clean energy source for subsequent resource utilization.
[0003] The methanation reaction of carbon dioxide is as follows:
[0004]
[0005] This reaction is strongly exothermic; low temperatures favor the forward reaction, while high temperatures reduce methane selectivity and easily cause sintering and deactivation of the catalyst's active components. To achieve high methane selectivity at ambient pressure, the reaction temperature is ideally below 400°C. However, the carbon dioxide methanation reaction involves an octet transfer process, exhibiting significant kinetic limitations. Therefore, developing a low-temperature, high-efficiency catalyst is crucial for realizing this reaction.
[0006] Existing methanation catalysts or raw materials are either expensive, have weak metal-support interactions, and are prone to sintering deactivation, making them unsuitable for large-scale production; or their preparation processes are complex, limiting their industrial application value.

[0011] Secondly, one embodiment of the present invention provides a catalyst prepared by the above-described preparation method.
[0012] Thirdly, one embodiment of the present invention provides the application of the above-described catalyst in a carbon dioxide methanation process.

[0019] In one embodiment, multiple cations are reacted with AlO2. - When anions are placed in the same aqueous solution system, they will mutually promote the hydrolysis process and form hydroxide precipitates. The slow hydrolysis of ions and the formation of precipitates result in highly uniform dispersion of the generated active components and additives, which can form ultra-small active component nanoparticles and form strong metal-support interactions with the support. This can effectively inhibit the sintering of active component particles and the carbon deposition on the surface, giving the catalyst excellent anti-sintering and anti-carbon deposition properties.

[0114] Application examples
[0115] The catalysts C1 to C7, D1, and D2 prepared in Examples 1 to 7 and Comparative Examples 1 to 2 were subjected to methanation processes according to the following steps:
[0116] Catalyst particles of 40–60 mesh were packed into a fixed-bed reactor, and the reactor was purged with an H2 / N2 atmosphere at 500°C for 1 hour. During this process, the active components (nickel oxide or cobalt oxide) existing in oxide form were reduced to elemental form (nickel or cobalt). Subsequently, a CO2 / H2 feed gas with a CO2:H2 volume ratio of 1:4 was introduced for the reaction, with a space velocity of 40,000 h⁻¹. -1 The reaction was carried out at atmospheric pressure, at a temperature of 300℃, and for 50 hours. The reaction tail gas was condensed and dehydrated before being passed through an online gas chromatograph to detect its components and content. The CO2 conversion rate and CH4 selectivity were calculated using the aforementioned method.
[0117] The composition and test data of each catalyst are shown in Table 1.
[0118] Table 1
[0119]
[0120] Based on the descriptions of the various embodiments and comparative examples, and the data in Table 1, it can be seen that the main difference between Example 6 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2 lies in the different catalyst preparation methods. Comparative Examples 1 and 2 prepared catalysts by co-impregnation and co-precipitation methods, respectively. The results in Table 1 show that the particle size of the active component of catalyst C6 prepared in Example 6 (1.7 nm) is significantly smaller than that of the active components of catalysts D1 and D2 prepared in Comparative Examples 1 and 2 (8.8 nm and 5.8 nm, respectively). Furthermore, while maintaining high methane selectivity, the CO2 conversion rate and CO2 adsorption capacity of the reaction using catalyst C6 are significantly higher than those using catalysts D1 and D2. The carbon deposition of catalyst C6 after the reaction (1.3%) is significantly lower than that of catalysts D1 and D2 (8.3% and 4.6%, respectively). Simultaneously, the particle size change of the active component of catalyst C6 before and after the reaction (0.1 nm) is significantly smaller than that of catalysts D1 and D2 (2.6 nm and 0.8 nm, respectively).
[0121] Therefore, in the methanation process, the catalyst prepared by the embodiments of the present invention has better catalytic performance than the catalysts prepared by co-impregnation and co-precipitation methods, and also has excellent resistance to sintering and carbon deposition.
[0122] Furthermore, as shown in Table 1, the catalytic performance is better when the content of active component in catalysts C1 to C7 is 10 wt% and 12.5 wt%, respectively. Therefore, the content of active component in the catalyst is preferably 9 to 13 wt%.
[0123] Furthermore, as shown in Table 1, the catalyst with CeO2 as the additive has better CO2 adsorption capacity. Therefore, CeO2 is the preferred additive.
[0124] Based on the above results, the catalysts C1 to C7 prepared in Examples 1 to 7 of this invention have ultra-small particle sizes of active components and exhibit excellent catalytic performance for carbon dioxide methanation. For example, at a reaction temperature of 300°C, the CO2 conversion rate of the catalyst can reach over 95%, the selectivity for CH4 can reach 100%, and the CO2 adsorption capacity exceeds 0.9 mmol / g.
