The application discloses a preparation method and application of a low-Cu-loading high-activity
methanol reforming
hydrogen production catalyst. The catalyst takes Al2O3 as a carrier, Cu as an
active component, and Ce as an additive, is synthesized by a
coprecipitation method in one step, and realizes the synergistic effect of the active
metal, the additive and the carrier by precisely controlling the Cu loading to be 5-15%, the Ce
doping amount to be 1-5%, and combining specific
precipitation,
calcination and reduction processes; the dispersion degree and the low-temperature catalytic performance of Cu are improved by using the
redox electron regulation formed by CeO2 and Al2O3 and the strong
metal carrier interaction. Without
doping of noble metals, the
raw material cost is reduced, meanwhile, the catalyst has excellent
mechanical strength, the long-period reaction performance does not attenuate for 300 hours, is suitable for a fixed-
bed reforming reactor, can be efficiently applied to a
methanol steam reforming hydrogen production reaction, and has remarkable industrial application value.
