Background
Hydrogen is widely applied to chemical industry and oil refining industry as a clean and pollution-free secondary energy, and is helpful to solve the problems of shortage of fossil energy, increasingly serious environmental pollution and the like in China. The heat value of the hydrogen is high, only water is generated by combustion, and no carbon is discharged. The main component of natural gas is methane (CH)4) The highest carbon to hydrogen ratio among all hydrocarbons is considered the most suitable hydrogen production resource. Among the hydrogen production technologies using methane as raw material, the technology of methane steam reforming is the most mature, and H in the produced product gas2The ratio of/CO is also higher, and the method is suitable for preparing the synthesis gas with high hydrogen content.
The methane steam reforming is an endothermic reaction, and the reaction temperature is generally 700-900 ℃. The conversion rate of methane can be improved by increasing the reaction temperature, but the carbon deposition of the catalyst is easily caused, so that the energy consumption is increased, and the sintering of the catalyst is easily caused to be inactivated. Ni/Al2O3Is the most common nickel-based catalyst, and the applicable reaction conditions are as follows: the water-carbon ratio is 3-3.5, the reaction temperature is 820 ℃, the reaction pressure is 1.5-3.0 MPa, and the methane conversion rate can reach 90-92%. Ni/Al2O3The catalyst has good performance, but is easy to sinter or generate carbon deposition to be inactivated. Therefore, it is necessary to pass throughThese methods, such as addition of auxiliaries and selection of suitable carriers, improve the activity and stability of the catalyst.
The active component Ni exists in the catalyst in the form of NiO. To activate the catalyst, a high temperature reduction is required before use. The activity of the catalyst can be improved by appropriately increasing the amount of Ni supported and the degree of dispersion of Ni, but excessive Ni supporting causes aggregation of Ni, resulting in a decrease in the degree of dispersion thereof, thereby decreasing the activity of the catalyst.
Al preparation in Journal of Natural Gas Science and Engineering 2015,25:359-2O3Respectively obtaining alumina Hollow Sphere (HS) and alumina Nano Particle (NP) structures, and finding that Ni/Al2O3Nanoparticle (NP) catalysts have better catalytic activity due to better metal site distribution, Ni/Al2O3The Hollow Sphere (HS) type catalyst showed low activity. The core-shell structure catalyst shows excellent stability due to the physical confinement effect of the shell layer on the nano particles, the preparation method mainly comprises atomic layer deposition, microemulsion, ammonia evaporation, hydrothermal synthesis and the like, and the shell layer thickness and the pore size distribution can be accurately controlled by the methods. An Applied catalyst B, Enviromental2020,118921 adopts an AlN degradation method to synthesize stable Al on the surface of a Ni/AlN catalyst2O3Shell layer of Ni2+The Ni-based nano-particles are easy to enter AlN tetrahedrons to form strong interaction, generate chemical confinement effect and contribute to the dispersion and stabilization of Ni NPs. AlN also has a high thermal conductivity, which is beneficial to the heat transfer of the catalyst. The core-shell catalyst has both physical and chemical confinement, and can effectively improve the carbon deposition resistance and sintering resistance in the DRM process.
However, the existing supported nickel metal catalysts for hydrogen production are still to be further improved.
