This application relates to the technical field of catalyst preparation, specifically disclosing a highly stable and active
methanation catalyst for
syngas and its preparation method. The method includes the following steps: dissolving
nickel and
manganese salts in water to obtain solution A; mixing
lanthanum carbonate tetrahydrate or
lanthanum and
cerium carbonate,
polyethylene glycol 400, and water uniformly to obtain mixture B; uniformly dispersing composite
powder and
calcium salt in water, adding mixture B, adjusting pH, heating, aging, simultaneously adding solution A and
carbonate solution, dynamically adjusting pH, aging,
solid-liquid separation, washing, and
drying to obtain a pre-supported body; sequentially impregnating the pre-supported body with
potassium salt solutions of increasing concentration,
drying, calcining, and cooling to obtain a catalyst precursor; uniformly kneading the catalyst precursor, binder,
release agent, and water, followed by molding, curing,
drying, reduction, and
passivation to obtain the final catalyst. The catalyst prepared in this application exhibits excellent CO and CO2 conversion rates and CH4 selectivity.
