Abstract
The catalytic conversion of CH4 by O2 into syngas (known as partial oxidation of methane; POM) is a practical approach for depleting CH4 concentration as well as achieving excellent H2 yield with high H2/CO ratio. The pentasil zeolite family having different SiO2/Al2O3 ratios 10, 20, 25, and 30 (abbreviated as CBV10A, CBV20A, CP810E, and CBV3024E) is found to be an excellent carrier for Ni. These Ni-containing molecular sieves are investigated for POM and characterized by X-ray diffraction, Raman-infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetry, temperature-programmed techniques, and transmission electron microscopy. 5Ni/CBV3024E catalyst has smaller number of active sites, 5Ni/CP810E contains unstable active site and mordenite-based Ni catalysts (5Ni/CBV10A and 5Ni/CBV20A) attain higher metal-support interaction. 5Ni/CBV20A outperforms others due to the presence of reducible NiO under moderate and strong interaction. It shows an initial 40% H2 yield at 600 oC and 81% H2 yield at 750 oC. The high-temperature POM reaction limits the H2/CO ratio close to the stoichiometric value of POM (~ 2), indicating the direct pathways of POM reaction at high temperatures. The high POM activity with the option of a wide range of H2/CO (4.12–2.26) using Ni-containing molecular sieve may gain industrial-level attention in the coming future.
期刊介绍:
Catalysis Letters aim is the rapid publication of outstanding and high-impact original research articles in catalysis. The scope of the journal covers a broad range of topics in all fields of both applied and theoretical catalysis, including heterogeneous, homogeneous and biocatalysis.
The high-quality original research articles published in Catalysis Letters are subject to rigorous peer review. Accepted papers are published online first and subsequently in print issues. All contributions must include a graphical abstract. Manuscripts should be written in English and the responsibility lies with the authors to ensure that they are grammatically and linguistically correct. Authors for whom English is not the working language are encouraged to consider using a professional language-editing service before submitting their manuscripts.
