The characterization of NiO-CoO/MgO catalyst for autothermal reforming of methaneThe drawback of conventional reforming of methane such as partial oxidation and steam reforming was carbon formation. The research was developed a suitable catalyst for combination of partial and steam reforming of methane and called autothermal reforming to reduce the coke formation. The NiO-CoO/MgO catalysts were prepared by an impregnation method and characterized by Temperature Programmed Reduction (TPR), X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Thermal Gravitymetry Analysis (TGA). The TPR and XRD results reveal that the catalyst characteristic is strongly influenced by the Co/Ni ratio. From TPR and TGA analysis, the sintering phenomena did not occur in the autothermal reforming of methane. The results reveal that Co/Ni ratios have a small effect in the catalytic activity for autothermal reforming. Nevertheless, the catalyst showed an optimum performance in this process when its Co/Ni ratio was 0.75. Keywords: Autothermal ReformingAbstrakMasalah yang terjadi pada proses konvensional reformasi metana seperti oksidasi parsial metana dan reformasi kukus adalah pembentukan karbon. Penelitian yang dilakukan adalah mengembangkan katalis yang sesuai untuk gabungan proses oksidasi parsial dan reformasi kukus atau yang disebut reformasi metana secara autothermal. Katalis NiO-CoO/MgO yang digunakan dibuat dengan metode impregnasi dan dilakukan pengujian dengan TPR, XRD dan TGA untuk mengetahui sifat-sifat dari katalis tersebut. Hasil TPR dan XRD menunjukkan bahwa karakteristik dari katalis sangat dipengaruhi oleh perbandingan CoiN i. Hasil pengamatan TPR dan TGA menunjukan bahwa sintering tidak terjadi di dalam proses reformasi metana secara autothermal. Hasil eksperimen juga menunjukan bahwa perbandingan Co/Ni hanya kecil pengaruhnya pada unjuk kerja katalis. Namun demikian katalis menunjukan unjuk kerja yang optimum pada perbandingan CoiN i = 0.75. Kata Kunci: Reformasi Autothermal

Background: Hydrogen has been considered the energy source of the future and one of the processes for its production is the methane steam reforming. The catalyst used industrially is Ni/Al2O3 and the addition of promoter oxides can be an alternative to improve the performance of this catalyst, which suffers from coke formation and sintering. Objective: Evaluate the role of niobia on catalytic activity and stability. Methods: Ni/x%Nb2O5/Al2O3 (x = 5, 10 and 20) catalysts were synthesized via coprecipitation-wet impregnation method and characterized by X-ray fluorescence (XRF), N2 adsorption-desorption, X-ray diffraction (XRD), temperature- programmed reduction (TPR), temperature-programmed desorption of ammonia (TPD-NH3), etc. Finally, the catalysts were tested for methane steam reforming reaction. Results: All niobia-doped catalysts presented similar values of methane conversion and when comparing with Ni-Al, the addition of niobia slightly improved the methane conversion. In the stability test at 800oC, all doped and non-doped catalysts did not deactivate during the 24 h of reaction. Conclusion: The addition of 10 and 20 wt.% of niobia had a significant promoter effect over Ni/Al2O3 catalyst in terms of activity and stability at 800 oC and the sample with 20 wt.% of niobia presented lower coke formation.

Ce- and Y-promoted double-layered hydroxides were synthesized and tested in dry reforming of methane (CH4/CO2 = 1/1). The characterization of the catalysts was performed using X-ray fluorescence (XRF), X-ray diffraction (XRD), N2 sorption, temperature-programmed reduction in H2 (TPR-H2), temperature-programmed desorption of CO2 (TPD-CO2), H2 chemisorption, thermogravimetric analysis coupled by mass spectrometry (TGA/MS), Raman, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The promotion with cerium influences textural properties, improves the Ni dispersion, decreases the number of total basic sites, and increases the reduction temperature of nickel species. After promotion with yttrium, the increase in basicity is not directly correlated with the increasing Y loading on the contrary of Ni dispersion. Dry reforming of methane (DRM) was performed as a function of temperature and in isothermal conditions at 700 °C for 5 h. For catalytic tests, a slight increase of the activity is observed for both Y and Ce doped catalysts. This improvement can of course be explained by Ni dispersion, which was found higher for both Y and Ce promoted catalysts. During DRM, the H2/CO ratio was found below unity, which can be explained by side reactions occurrence. These side reactions are linked with the increase of CO2 conversion and led to carbon deposition. By HRTEM, only multi-walled and helical-shaped carbon nanotubes were identified on Y and Ce promoted catalysts. Finally, from Raman spectroscopy, it was found that on Y and Ce promoted catalysts, the formed C is less graphitic as compared to only Ce-based catalyst.

In this study, the characterization of In-exchanged CHA zeolite (In-CHA (SiO2/Al2O3 = 22.3)) was conducted by in-situ X-ray diffraction (XRD) and ammonia temperature-programmed desorption (NH3-TPD). We also prepared other In-exchanged zeolites with different zeolite structures (In-MFI (SiO2/Al2O3 = 22.3), In-MOR (SiO2/Al2O3 = 20), and In-BEA (SiO2/Al2O3 = 25)) and different SiO2/Al2O3 ratios (In-CHA(Al-rich) (SiO2/Al2O3 = 13.7)). Their catalytic activities in nonoxidative ethane dehydrogenation were compared. Among the tested catalysts, In-CHA(Al-rich) provided the highest conversion. From kinetic experiments and in-situ Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, [InH2]+ ions are formed regardless of SiO2/Al2O3 ratio, serving as the active sites.

Abstract To study the affinity of 3A aluminosilicate adsorbents to prevent oligomerization of olefin molecules and forming green oil, physical and chemical properties of 3A molecular sieves are measured by using characterization techniques such as temperature-programmed desorption (TPD), nitrogen (N2) and water adsorptions, X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), crushing strength, and carbon dioxide (CO2) adsorption. Moreover, coke formation affinities of the understudy adsorbents are evaluated in a bench-scale system using 1-butene and 1,3-butadiene at temperatures of 220 and 260 °C, and outcomes are validated against the actual data gathered from an industrial scale olefin dehydration plant. Results confirm that the type of binder and the amount of ion exchange affect the performance of a 3A molecular sieve nominated for dehydrating olefinic streams. The binder with the least amount of acidity is preferred, and at least 35% of Na ions of the 4A zeolite should be exchanged with K ions to make it applicable for synthesizing an appropriate 3A molecular sieve. Furthermore, to control the oligomerization and inhibit green oil formation, the CO2 adsorption and acidity of Trisiv shape molecular sieves with the sizes of 1/4 inch should be less than 0.5 wt % and 1.7 mmol NH3/g, respectively. For extrudate shape with the sizes of 1/16 inch CO2 adsorption and acidity should be less than 0.2 wt % and 2.2 mmol NH3/g, respectively.

Herein, we report monometallic Ni and bimetallic Pd–Ni catalysts supported on CeO2–Al2O3 binary oxide which are highly active and selective in oxy-steam reforming of methanol (OSRM). Monometallic and bimetallic supported catalysts were prepared by an impregnation method. The physicochemical properties of the catalytic systems were investigated using a range of methods such as: Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET), X-ray Powder Diffraction (XRD), Temperature-programmed reduction (TPR–H2), Temperature-programmed desorption (TPD–NH3), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Scanning Electron Microscope equipped with an energy dispersive spectrometer (SEM–EDS). We demonstrate that the addition of palladium facilitates the reduction of nickel catalysts. The activity tests performed for all catalysts confirmed the promotion effect of palladium on the catalytic activity of nickel catalyst and their selectivity towards hydrogen production. Both nickel and bimetallic palladium–nickel supported catalysts showed excellent stability during the reaction. The reported catalytic systems are valuable to make advances in the field of fuel cell technology.

Catalysts prepared using three dimensional SBA-16 silica support (composed of micropores and cage-like mesopores) were tested in the reaction of methane dry reforming, in comparison with 2D hexagonal mesoporous SBA-15 support. The samples were evaluated by N2 sorption and X-Ray diffraction (XRD) for the assessment of their textural and structural properties. The reducibility was characterized by temperature programmed reduction (TPR). The catalytic performances were evaluated in methane dry reforming and spent catalysts (after reaction) were characterized for the evaluation of sintering and coke formation by TPH/MS, XRD and HR-TEM.

The NiO-ZnO binary materials had been prepared by co-precipitation method. The weight percent of nickel of NiO-ZnO materials were 5, 10 and 20; they were pretreated under air at temperature of 300, 500 and 700°C, respectively. The characterization of NiO-ZnO materials were the thermal gravity analysis(TGA), X-ray diffraction(XRD), N2 adsorption-desorption at 77K, scaning electron microscope(SEM) and temperature-programmed reduction(TPR). The results revealed that surface areas of NiO-ZnO materials order from large to small were 20NiZn(OH)x(66 m2·g-1) > 10NiZn(OH)x(34 m2·g-1) > 5NiZn(OH)x(9 m2·g-1) after being calcined at the temperature of 500°C. Further, NiO-ZnO materials had two main reductive peaks at 390-415°C and 560-657°C, respectively. In all NiO-ZnO materials, 20NiZn(OH)x-C500 material had the highest surface area and the best interaction between NiO and ZnO.

The reduction behaviour of tungsten oxide has been studied by using temperature programmed reduction (TPR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The reduction behavior were examine by nonisothermal reduction up to 900 oC then continued with isothermal reduction at 900 oC for 45 min time under (40% v/v) carbon monoxide in nitrogen (CO in N2) atmosphere. The TPR signal clearly shows one peak attributed to formation of suboxide W18O49 (more) and WO2 (less) observed at 80 min. The reduction product was investigated by varying the holding reaction time. Based on the characterization of the reduction products by using XRD, it was found that, nonisothermal reduction of WO3 at temperature 900 oC partially converted to some W18O49 and WO2 phases. However, after increased the reaction holding time for 45 min, WO3 phases disappeared and converted to WO2 and W metal phases. It is obviously shows that by hold the reduction time could improve the reducibility of the sample oxide. Furthermore, it is suggested that reduction by using CO as reducing agent follows the consecutives steps WO3 → WO2.92 → W18O49 → WO2 → W.

The catalysts Ni/Al2O3and CaO modified Ni/Al2O3were prepared by impregnation method and applied for methanation of CO2. The catalysts were characterized by N2adsorption/desorption, temperature-programmed reduction of H2(H2-TPR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and temperature-programmed desorption of CO2and H2(CO2-TPD and H2-TPD) techniques, respectively. TPR and XRD results indicated that CaO can effectively restrain the growth of NiO nanoparticles, improve the dispersion of NiO, and weaken the interaction between NiO and Al2O3. CO2-TPD and H2-TPD results suggested that CaO can change the environment surrounding of CO2and H2adsorption and thus the reactants on the Ni atoms can be activated more easily. The modified Ni/Al2O3showed better catalytic activity than pure Ni/Al2O3. Ni/CaO-Al2O3showed high CO2conversion especially at low temperatures compared to Ni/Al2O3, and the selectivity to CH4was very close to 1. The high CO2conversion over Ni/CaO-Al2O3was mainly caused by the surface coverage by CO2-derived species on CaO-Al2O3surface.
