Description

本発明は、炭化水素と水とを原料として水素を製造するための水蒸気改質用触媒に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a steam reforming catalyst for producing hydrogen using hydrocarbons and water as raw materials.

水素を燃焼すると水しか発生しないことから、地球環境の保全という観点からは、水素は理想的な燃料といえる。最近では、特に燃料電池の燃料として水素が注目されている。このような燃料としての水素の製造方法としてはこれまでに様々なものが知られている。そのうちの最も重要な方法として、メタンなどの炭化水素(CnHm)と水蒸気との反応により水素及び合成ガスを製造する方法があり、水蒸気改質反応とよばれている。その総括反応式は次の式で示され、大きな吸熱を伴う反応である。 Since only water is generated when hydrogen is burned, hydrogen is an ideal fuel from the viewpoint of conservation of the global environment. Recently, hydrogen has attracted attention as a fuel for fuel cells. Various methods for producing hydrogen as such a fuel have been known so far. Among them, the most important method is a method of producing hydrogen and synthesis gas by a reaction between a hydrocarbon such as methane (C n H m ) and steam, which is called a steam reforming reaction. The general reaction formula is shown by the following formula, and is a reaction with a large endotherm.

CnHm + nH2O → nCO +(n+m/2)H2
従って、熱力学的には高温ほど有利であり、炭化水素の種類にもよるが、通常は700℃
以上の反応温度が必要であるとされている。このことから、炭化水素の水蒸気改質用触媒には、高い活性と共に、優れた耐熱性、高温安定性及び一定の高温強度が求められている。従来、このような炭化水素の水蒸気改質用の触媒としては、担体上に担持された遷移金属が一般的に用いられている。例えば、メタン(CH4)の水蒸気改質に対する最も高い触
媒活性を示す金属としてはRh,Ru,Ni,Ir,Pd,Pt,Reが知られている。なかでも、貴金属が最も多く使用されている。ただ、貴金属の場合には、コストが高いという問題がある。他方で、Niは比較的に安く、工業的によく使用されているが、活性が十分ではなく、耐熱性が低いという問題がある。そのため、貴金属やNiに代わる炭化水素改質用の触媒として、高活性、低コストで、耐熱性の良好な新しい触媒の開発が必要とされていた。
C n H m + nH 2 O → nCO + (n + m / 2) H 2
Therefore, thermodynamically, the higher the temperature, the more advantageous and usually 700 ° C, depending on the type of hydrocarbon.
It is said that the above reaction temperature is required. For this reason, hydrocarbon steam reforming catalysts are required to have high activity, excellent heat resistance, high-temperature stability, and constant high-temperature strength. Conventionally, a transition metal supported on a carrier is generally used as a catalyst for such steam reforming of hydrocarbons. For example, Rh, Ru, Ni, Ir, Pd, Pt, and Re are known as metals exhibiting the highest catalytic activity for steam reforming of methane (CH4). Among them, precious metals are most frequently used. However, in the case of precious metals, there is a problem that the cost is high. On the other hand, Ni is relatively cheap and often used industrially, but there is a problem that the activity is not sufficient and the heat resistance is low. Therefore, development of a new catalyst with high activity, low cost and good heat resistance has been required as a catalyst for hydrocarbon reforming in place of noble metals and Ni.

一方、金属間化合物Ni3Alは、通常の材料と異なり、降伏強度が正の温度依存性を示し
(強度の逆温度依存性と呼ばれている)、優れた高温特性、耐摩耗性を持っていることから、このような高温特性等を利用してNi3Al系金属間化合物を触媒用成形体として応用す

On the other hand, the intermetallic compound Ni 3 Al, unlike ordinary materials, has a positive temperature dependence of yield strength (called reverse temperature dependence of strength), and has excellent high-temperature characteristics and wear resistance. Therefore, it has been proposed to apply a Ni 3 Al intermetallic compound as a molded article for a catalyst using such high temperature characteristics (Patent Document 1).

、触媒の活性、その調製方法、取扱い性等の観点からは粒状物とすることが好ましく考慮される。この場合、たとえば、回転ディスクアトマイズ法やインゴット溶製後の切削と機械的研磨等により作製することができる。
The above-mentioned catalyst containing Ni 3 Al intermetallic compound may be used in various shapes, or it is preferably considered to be a granular material from the viewpoint of the activity of the catalyst, its preparation method, handleability, etc. The In this case, for example, it can be produced by a rotating disk atomizing method, cutting after ingot melting, mechanical polishing, or the like.

また、本発明では、Ni3Alの表面形状、組成を制御することによって、触媒活性を高め
るために、あらかじめアルカリや酸で表面処理することが有効でもある。アルカリ処理は、一般的には、無機又は有機の塩基の水溶液もしくは有機溶媒の溶液を用いることができる。処理温度については、通常は、室温−100℃の範囲とすることができる。酸処理には
、無機酸または有機酸、それらの水溶液や有機溶液を用いることができる。処理温度としては、室温−50℃程度までとすることが一般的に考慮される。
In the present invention, it is also effective to perform surface treatment with an alkali or an acid in advance in order to increase the catalytic activity by controlling the surface shape and composition of Ni 3 Al. In general, the alkali treatment can use an aqueous solution of an inorganic or organic base or a solution of an organic solvent. About processing temperature, it can usually be set as the range of room temperature-100 degreeC. In the acid treatment, an inorganic acid or an organic acid, an aqueous solution or an organic solution thereof can be used. As the processing temperature, it is generally considered that the processing temperature is up to about room temperature-50 ° C.

上記のアルカリ処理の場合には、Alだけが溶出し、Niが殆んど溶出しない。たとえばNaOH水溶液を用いる場合には、その濃度は10%以上、望ましくは20-30%であり、また処理温度60-100℃、処理時間1時間以上が望ましい。酸処理の場合、AlとNiとも溶出するので、
高濃度、長時間処理すると、金属間化合物Ni3Alの損失が増えることに注意する必要があ

下が望ましい。HNO3水溶液の場合には、濃度5%以下、処理温度20℃付近、処理時間2時間
以下が望ましい。
In the case of the above alkali treatment, only Al is eluted and Ni is hardly eluted. For example, when NaOH aqueous solution is used, the concentration is 10% or more, preferably 20-30%, and the treatment temperature is 60-100 ° C. and the treatment time is 1 hour or more. In the case of acid treatment, both Al and Ni elute,
It should be noted that the loss of the intermetallic compound Ni 3 Al increases when the treatment is performed at a high concentration for a long time. For example, in the case of an aqueous HCl solution, it is desirable that the concentration is 20% or less, the treatment temperature is around 20 ° C., and the treatment time is 2 hours or less. In the case of HNO 3 aqueous solution, it is desirable that the concentration is 5% or less, the treatment temperature is around 20 ° C., and the treatment time is 2 hours or less.

また、表面処理の効果を高めるため、酸とアルカリ処理を組み合わせ、二段階の表面処理を行うことも有効である。特に、まず、酸処理し、次いでアルカリ処理することが好適
に考慮される。酸処理により表面のAlとNiを溶出することにより、表面積を増やす。続いて、アルカリ処理により表面のAlを溶出することにより、表面積をさらに増加するとともに、表面のNi活性点を増加する。これにより触媒活性を著しく改善することが可能となる。
In order to enhance the effect of the surface treatment, it is also effective to perform a two-step surface treatment by combining an acid and an alkali treatment. In particular, it is preferable to first consider acid treatment and then alkali treatment. The surface area is increased by eluting the surface Al and Ni by acid treatment. Subsequently, by eluting the surface Al by alkali treatment, the surface area is further increased and the Ni active sites on the surface are increased. As a result, the catalytic activity can be remarkably improved.

以上のとおりの本発明の触媒は、炭化水素の水蒸気改質反応による水素の製造に用いられる。この場合の炭化水素は、メタンをはじめとする各種の炭化水素:CnHmであってよく、たとえば、メタン、エタン、プロパン、ブタン、エチレン、プロピレン等々であってよい。炭化水素と水蒸気の割合は、炭化水素の種類によっても相違するが、一般的にはモル比として、H2O:炭化水素が、50〜0.5:1の範囲とし、反応温度は、400℃〜950℃程度が考慮される。500℃〜750℃程度の比較的低い反応温度においても触媒の作用は高活性なものとなる。 The catalyst of the present invention as described above is used for production of hydrogen by a hydrocarbon steam reforming reaction. The hydrocarbon in this case may be various hydrocarbons including methane: CnHm, for example, methane, ethane, propane, butane, ethylene, propylene, and the like. Although the ratio of hydrocarbon and water vapor varies depending on the type of hydrocarbon, generally, the molar ratio is H 2 O: hydrocarbon in the range of 50 to 0.5: 1, and the reaction temperature is 400 ° C. to About 950 ° C is considered. Even at a relatively low reaction temperature of about 500 ° C to 750 ° C, the action of the catalyst becomes highly active.

反応は、バッチ式あるいは流通式のいずれでもよく、流通式の場合には、固定床、流動床等の各種の方式であってよい。   The reaction may be either a batch type or a flow type, and in the case of the flow type, various methods such as a fixed bed and a fluidized bed may be used.

なお、反応に際しては、触媒をあらかじめ水素還元処理しておくことも有効である。   In the reaction, it is also effective to subject the catalyst to a hydrogen reduction treatment in advance.

FIG. 1 shows the observation results of the surface morphology of Ni 3 Al powder produced by SEM with a rotating disk atomization method and the above three types of surface treatments (1), (2) and (3). It can be seen that the surface texture and morphology were greatly changed by acid treatment and alkali treatment. FIG. 2 shows the result of detailed observation of the surface microstructure of the sample subjected to the two-stage surface treatment of acid treatment and alkali treatment.
