Ni nanoparticles supported on carbon as efficient catalysts for steam reforming of toluene (model tar)

This paper investigated the influences of surface properties of carbon support and nickel precursors (nickel nitrate,nickel chloride and nickel acetate) on Ni nanoparticle sizes and catalytic performances for steam reforming of toluene.Treatment with nitric acid helped to increase the amount of functional groups on the surface and hydrophilic nature of carbon support,leading to a homogeneous distribution of Ni nanoparticles.The thermal decomposition products of nickel precursor also played an important role,Ni nanoparticles supported on carbon treated with acid using nickel nitrate as the precursor exhibited the smallest mean diameter of 4.5 nm.With the loading amount increased from 6 wt％ to 18 wt％,the mean particle size of Ni nanoparticles varied from 4.5 nm to 9.1 nm.The as-prepared catalyst showed a high catalytic activity and a good stability for toluene steam reforming:98.1％ conversion of toluene was obtained with the Ni content of 12 wt％ and the S/C ratio of 3,and the conversion only decreased to 92.0％ after 700 min.Because of the high activity,good stability,and low cost,the as-prepared catalyst opens up new opportunities for tar removing.     

载体二氧化钛的晶型对对硝基苯酚加氢催化剂Ni/TiO2的影响

The catalytic hydrogenation ofp-nitrophenol to p-aminophenol was investigated over Ni/TiO2 catalysts prepared by a liquid-phase chemical reduction method. The catalysts were characterized by inductively coupled plasma （ICP）, X-ray powder diffraction （XRD）, transmission electron microscopy （TEM）, X-ray photoelectron spectra （XPS） and temperature-programmed reduction （TPR）. Results show that the titania structure has favorable influence on physio-chemical and catalytic properties of Ni/TiO2 catalysts. Compared to commercial Raney nickel, the catalytic activity of Ni/TiO2 catalyst is much superior, irrespective of the titania structure. The catalytic activity of anatase titania supported nickel catalyst Ni/TiO2（A） is higher than that of rutile titania supported nickel catalyst Ni/TiO2（R）, possibly because the reduction of nickel oxide to metallic nickel for Ni/TiO2（A） is easier than that for Ni/TiO2（R） at similar reaction conditions.     

CO_2 methanation over TiO_2–Al_2O_3 binary oxides supported Ru catalysts

TiO_2 modified Al_2O_3 binary oxide was prepared by a wet-impregnation method and used as the support for ruthenium catalyst. The catalytic performance of Ru/TiO_2–Al_2O_3catalyst in CO_2 methanation reaction was investigated. Compared with Ru/Al_2O_3 catalyst, the Ru/TiO_2–Al_2O_3catalytic system exhibited a much higher activity in CO_2 methanation reaction. The reaction rate over Ru/TiO_2–Al_2O_3 was 0.59 mol CO_2·(g Ru)1·h-1, 3.1 times higher than that on Ru/Al_2O_3[0.19 mol CO_2·(gRu)-1·h-1]. The effect of TiO_2 content and TiO_2–Al_2O_3calcination temperature on catalytic performance was addressed. The corresponding structures of each catalyst were characterized by means of H_2-TPR, XRD, and TEM. Results indicated that the averaged particle size of the Ru on TiO_2–Al_2O_3support is 2.8 nm, smaller than that on Al_2O_3 support of 4.3 nm. Therefore, we conclude that the improved activity over Ru/TiO_2–Al_2O_3catalyst is originated from the smaller particle size of ruthenium resulting from a strong interaction between Ru and the rutile-TiO_2 support, which hindered the aggregation of Ru nanoparticles.     

Performance of Ni/Nano-ZrO2catalysts for CO preferential methanation简

Large surface areas nano-scale zirconia was prepared by the self-assembly route and was employed as support in nickel catalysts for the CO selective methanation. The effects of Ni loading and the catalyst calcination temperature on the performance of the catalyst for CO selective methanation reaction were investigated. The cata- lysts were characterized by Brunauer-Emmett-Teller （BET）, transmission electron microscope （TEM）, X-ray dif- fraction （XRD） and temperature-programmed reduction （TPR）. The results showed that the as-synthesized Ni/nano-ZrO2 catalysts presented high activity for CO methanation due to the interaction between Ni active particle and nano zir- conia support. The selectivity for the CO methanation influenced significantly by the particle size of the active Ni species. The exorbitant calcination resulted in the conglomeration of dispersive Ni particles and led to the decrease of CO methanation selectivity. Among the catalysts studied, the 7.5% （by mass） Ni/ZrO2 catalyst calcinated at 500℃ was the most effective for the CO selective methanation. It can preferentially catalyze the CO methanation with a higher 99% conversion in the CO/CO2 competitive methanation system over the temperature range of 260-280℃, while keeping the CO2 conversion relatively low.     

载体对镍催化剂催化间二硝基苯加氢制间苯二胺反应性能的影响

The hydrogenation of m-dinitrobenzene to m-phenylenediamine in liquid phase was studied with the nickel catalysts supported on SiO2, TiO2, γ-Al2O3, MgO and diatomite carders. Based on the experiments of X-ray diffraction （XRD）, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS）, temperature-programmed reduction （TPR）, temperature-programmed desorption of hydrogen （H2-TPD） and activity evaluation, the physico-chemical and catalytic properties of the catalysts were investigated. Among the catalysts tested, the SiO2 supported nickel catalyst showed the highest activity and selectivity towards m-phenylenediamine, over which 97.3% m-dinitrobenzene conversion and 95.1% m-phenylenediamine yield were obtained at 373K under hydrogen pressure of 2.6MPa after reaction for 6 h when using ethanol as solvent. Although TiO2 and diatomite supported nickel catalysts also presented high activity, they had lower selectivity towards m-phenylenediamine. As for γ-Al2O3 and MgO supported catalysts were almost inactive for the object reaction. It was shown that both the activity and selectivity of the catalysts were strongly depended on the interaction between nickel and the support. The higher activities of Ni/SiO2, Ni/TiO2 and Ni/diatomite could be attributed to the weaker metal-support interaction, on which Ni species presented as crystallized Ni metal particles. On the other hand, there existed strong metal-support interaction in Ni/MgO and Ni γ-Al2O3, which causes these catalysts more difficult to be reduced and the availability of Ni active sites decreased, resulting in their low catalytic activity.     

Size-controlled Pd nanoparticles supported on α-Al2O3 as heterogeneous catalyst for selective hydrogenation of acetylene

Size-controlled Pd nanoparticles （PdNPs） were synthesized in aqueous solution, using sodium car-boxymethyl cellulose as the stabilizer. Size-controlled PdNPs were supported onα-Al2O3 by the incipient wetness impregnation method. The PdNPs onα-Al2O3 support were in a narrow particle size distribution in the range of 1-6 nm. A series of PdNPs/α-Al2O3 catalysts were used for the selective hydrogenation of acetylene in ethylene-rich stream. The results show that PdNPs/α-Al2O3 catalyst with 0.03%（by mass） Pd loading is a very effective and sta-ble catalyst. With promoter Ag added, ethylene selectivity is increased from 41.0%to 63.8%at 100 ＆#176;C. Comparing with conventional Pd-Ag/α-Al2O3 catalyst, PdNPs-Ag/α-Al2O3 catalyst has better catalytic performance in acety-lene hydrogenation and shows good prospects for industrial application.     

La2O3助剂对甲烷干燥重整催化剂 Ni-γ-Al2O3支撑作用的研究简

The nature of support and type of active metal affect catalytic performance. In this work, the effect of using La203 as promoter and support for Ni/γ-A1203 catalysts in dry reforming of methane was investigated. The reforming reactions were carried out at atmosphenc pressure in the temperature range of 500-2700℃. The activity and stability of the catalyst, carbon formation, and syngas （H2/CO） ratio were determined. Various techniques were applied for characterization of both fresh and used catalysts. Addition of La2O3 to the catalyst matrix improved the dispersion of Ni and adsorption of CO2, thus its activity and stability enhanced.     

基于Ni/Al2O3催化的异丁烯二聚反应精馏过程的动力学研究（英文）

Isooctane is a promising gasoline additive that could be produced by dimerization of isobutene (IB) with subse-quent hydrogenation. In this work, the dimerization of IB has been carried out in a batch reactor over a temper-ature range of 338–383 K in the presence of laboratory prepared Ni/Al2O3 as a catalyst and n-pentane as solvent. The influence of various parameters such as temperature, catalyst loading and initial concentration of IB was examined. A Langmuir–Hinshelwood kinetic model of IB dimerization was established and the parameters were estimated on the basis of the measured data. The feasibility of oligomerization of IB based on the reactive distil ation was simulated in ASPEN PLUS using the kinetics developed. The simulation results showed that the catalyst of Ni/Al2O3 had higher selectivity to diisobutene (DIB) and slightly lower conversion of IB than ion exchange resin in the absence of polar substances.     

The cooperation effect of Ni and Pt in the hydrogenation of acetic acid

The catalytic hydrogenation of carboxylic acid to alcohols is one of the important strategies for the conversion of biomass.Herein,a series of Ni-doped PtSn catalysts were prepared,characterized and studied in the hydrogenation of acetic acid.The Ni dopant has a strong interaction with Pt,which promotes the hydrogen adsorption,providing an activated hydrogen-rich environment for the hydrogenation.Meanwhile,the presence of Ni also improves the Pt dispersion,giving more accessible active sites for hydrogen activation.The cooperation of Pt and Ni significantly promotes the catalytic activity of the hydrogenation of acetic acid to ethanol.As a result,the catalyst with 0.1%Ni exhibits the best reaction activity,and its space time yield is twice as that of the PtSn/SiO2 catalyst.It provides a meaningful instruction on the catalyst design for the carboxylic acid hydrogenation.     

毛细管Al_2O_3膜的制备及表征:薄膜形成机理对无缺陷膜制备的影响(英文)

Ceramic capillary membrane has received much attention due to its relatively high pack density and favorable mechanical strength.However,it is difficult to prepare capillary membrane on its thin support by a dip-coating method.In this study,alumina microfiltration membranes were prepared on the inner surface of alumina capillary support(outer diameter 4 mm,inner diameter 2.5 mm)by a dip-coating method.Scanning electron microscopy(SEM)observation,gas bubble pressure(GBP)method and membrane permeation test were carried out to evaluate membrane performance.Two major effects in preparation of crack-free membrane,capillary filtration and film-coating,upon the thin support were studied.The as-prepared crack-free membrane presents a narrow pore size distribution,a mean pore size of about 0.6μm and a high pure water flux of 86000 L·m -2 ·h -1 ·MPa.It is proved that the membrane thickness should be sufficiently large to overcome the defects of support surface,but it is only one of the prerequisites for the formation of crack-free membrane.Furthermore,it is demonstrated that the capillary filtration effect is greatly restricted for thin capillary support with the dip-coating method and the film-coating effect plays a crucial role in the formation of crack-free membrane.     

载体氧化铝的粒径对对硝基苯酚加氢催化剂Ni/Al2O3的影响

The catalytic hydrogenation ofp-nitrophenol to p-aminophenol was investigated over Ni/Al2O3 catalyst on alumina support with different particle size. It is found that support particle size has significant influences on physiochemical properties and catalytic activity of the resulting Ni/A12O3 catalyst,but little influence on the selectivity. At a comparable amount of Ni loading,the catalytic activity of Ni/Al2O3 prepared with alumina support of smaller particle size is lower. The reduction behavior of the catalyst is a key factor in determining the catalytic activity of Ni/A12O3 catalyst. The supported nickel catalyst 10.3Ni/Al2O3-3 improves the life span of the membrane by reducing fouling on the membrane surface compared to nano-sized nickel.     

Reductive amination of n-hexanol to n-hexylamine over Ni–Ce/γ-Al2O3 catalysts

The amination of alkyl alcohols is one of the most promising paths in synthesis of aliphatic amines. Herein, cerium doped nickel-based catalysts were synthesized and tested in a gas-phase amination of n-hexanol to n-hexylamine. It was found that the activity of the Ni/γ-Al₂O₃ catalyst is significantly improved by doping an appropriate amount of cerium. The presence of cerium effectively inhibits the agglomeration of nickel particle, resulting in better Ni dispersion. As Ni particle size plays critical role on the catalytic activity, higher turnover frequency of n-hexanol amination was achieved. Cerium doping also improves the reduction ability of nickel and enhances the interactions between Ni and the catalyst support. More weak acid sites were also found in those cerium doped catalysts, which promote another key step—ammonia dissociative adsorption in this reaction system. The overall synergy of Ni nanoparticles and acid sites of this Ni–Ce/γ-Al₂O₃ catalyst boosts its superior catalytic performance in the amination of n-hexanol.

Light alkanes CO2 reforming to synthesis gas over Ni based catalysts

The CO₂ reforming of methane and propane has been compared over two different Ni catalysts: one reference Ni/SiO₂ system and a Ni/Mg(Al)O hydrotalcite-derived catalyst, shown previously to display high catalytic stability for long term reforming. By combining the Tapered Element Oscillating Microbalance (TEOM), Temperature Programmed Hydrogenation (TPH), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and magnetic measurements, the formation of coke and its role on the catalyst activity has been investigated and compared for both hydrocarbons. It was found that Ni/SiO₂ and Ni/Mg(Al)O are both more active for methane reforming than for propane reforming. Coke formation is much more pronounced for propane than for methane over both catalysts. However, for both hydrocarbons a much faster carbon formation is observed over the Ni/SiO₂ catalyst than over the Ni/Mg(Al)O catalyst. The difference in the rates of coke formation for methane and propane is ascribed in the case of propane to partially dehydrogenated C₃ adspecies, which are good coke precursors. The superior stability of the hydrotalcite-derived catalyst is due to the strong interaction of the nickel phase with the support and the capacity of the support to activate CO₂ and channel oxygen to the nickel phase.
