Background technology
The development and application of novel catalyst carrier material is the key areas of heterogeneous catalytic reaction research.In recent years, carbon nano-fiber (carbon nanofiber is called for short CNF) as a kind of novel carbonaceous material, becomes one of research focus of catalytic field.CNF is applied to catalytic field as catalyst carrier, compare with traditional carbonaceous carriers such as active carbon, have many advantages, controlled as micro-structural, interfacial effect is strong, middle hole characteristic, heat endurance and mechanical strength are high, therefore can produce active influence to activity of such catalysts, selectivity, life-span etc. as catalyst carrier.
On the other hand, reactive metal being carried on the ordered structure carrier making catalyst structureization, is the environmental protection of chemical industry and the requirement of sustainable development.For the chemical field that has numerous heterogeneous catalytic reactions to exist, structural catalyst/reactor is owing to have the characteristics and the performance of catalyst and reactor concurrently, can improve the selectivity of activity of such catalysts and specialities, improve the efficient and the utilization rate of catalyst, become hot research in recent years.
