The invention relates to the technical field of catalyst preparation, and particularly discloses a high-stability and high-activity
methanation catalyst for synthesis gas and a preparation method of the high-stability and high-activity
methanation catalyst. Comprising the following steps: dissolving
nickel salt and
manganese salt in water to obtain a solution A; uniformly mixing
lanthanum carbonate tetrahydrate or
lanthanum carbonate cerium,
polyethylene glycol 400 and water to obtain a
mixed solution B; uniformly dispersing the composite
powder and
calcium salt in water, adding the
mixed solution B, adjusting the pH value, heating, aging, synchronously adding the solution A and the
carbonate solution, dynamically adjusting the pH value, aging, carrying out
solid-liquid separation, washing, and
drying to obtain a pre-loaded body; sequentially dipping,
drying,
roasting and cooling a
potassium salt solution with gradually increased concentration and the pre-loaded carrier to obtain a catalyst precursor; and uniformly kneading the catalyst precursor, a binder, a
release agent and water, molding, curing,
drying, reducing and passivating to obtain the catalyst. The catalyst prepared by the invention shows excellent CO and CO2 conversion rate and CH4 selectivity.
