The current research presents an experimental approach on the mechanism, kinetic and decay of industrial Pd-Ag supported α-Al2O3 catalyst used in the acetylene hydrogenation process. In the first step, the fresh and deactivated hydrogenation catalysts are characterized by XRD, BET (Brunauer–Emmett–Teller), SEM, TEM, and DTG analyses. The XRD results show that the dispersed palladium particles on the support surface experience an agglomeration during the reaction run time and mean particle size approaches from 6.2 nm to 11.5 nm. In the second step, the performance of Pd-Ag supported α-Al2O3 catalyst is investigated in a differential reactor in a wide range of hydrogen to acetylene ratio, temperature, gas hourly space velocity and pressure. The full factorial design method is used to determine the experiments. Based on the experimental results ethylene, ethane, butene, and 1,3-butadiene are produced through the acetylene hydrogenation. In the third step, a detailed reaction network is proposed based on the measured compounds in the product and the corresponding kinetic model is developed, based on the Langmuir-Hinshelwood-Hougen-Watson approach. The coefficients of the proposed kinetic model are calculated based on experimental data. Finally, based on the developed kinetic model and plant data, a decay model is proposed to predict catalyst activity and the parameters of the activity model are calculated. The results show that the coke build-up and condensation of heavy compounds on the surface cause catalyst deactivation at low temperature.

The utilization of fossil fuels has led to a gradual increase in greenhouse gas emissions, which have accelerated global climate change. Therefore, there is a growing interest in renewable energy sources and technologies. Biogas has gained considerable attention as an abundant renewable energy resource. Common biogases include anaerobic digestion gas and landfill gas, which can be used to synthesize high-value-added syngas through catalytic reforming. Because syngas (CO and H2) is synthesized at high reaction temperature, carbon is generated by the Boudouard reaction from CO and CH4 cracking; thus, C blocks the pores and surface of the catalyst, thereby causing catalyst deactivation. In this study, a simulation was performed to measure the CH4 and CO2 conversion rates and the syngas yield for different ratios of CO2/CH4 (0.5, 1, and 2). The simulation results showed that the optimum CO2/CH4 ratio is 0.5; therefore, biogas reforming over the 3 wt% Ni/Ce-MgO-ZrO2/Al2O3 catalyst was performed under these conditions. CH4 and CO2 conversion rates and the syngas yield were evaluated by varying the R values (R = (CO2 + O2)/CH4) on the effect of CO2 and O2 oxidants of CH4. In addition, steam was added during biogas reforming to elucidate the effect of steam addition on CO2 and CH4 conversion rates. The durability and activity of the catalyst after 200-h biogas reforming were evaluated under the optimal conditions of R = 0.7, 850 °C, and 1 atm.

Cu-based catalysts are promising for CO oxidation applications with catalyst deactivation being a major barrier. We start with a CuO/Al2O3 catalyst and find that while the CO conversion decreases, CO2 accumulates and the average Cu chemical state stays the same. It suggests CO2 self-poisoning, i.e., CO2 desorption is the rate-determining step. Subsequently, experiments are performed to prove this hypothesis by showing (1) CO2 adsorption inhibits O2 adsorption, (2) complete desorption of CO2 regenerate the catalyst, (3) pre-adsorbed CO2 quenches catalyst activity which recovers during the reaction and (4) the apparent activation energy is consistent with CO2 desorption. It is further evidenced by using a stronger CO2 adsorbing support CeO2 to speed up CO2 desorption from the CuO sites resulting in a superior CuO/CeO2 catalyst. It provides an example for experimentally deciding and speeding up the rate-determining step in a catalytic reaction.
