Abstract

The carbon deposition and sintering of Ni-based catalysts, used in CO methanation, are the main problems to be solved. In this paper, supported LaNiO3/Al2O3-ZrO2 catalyst was prepared by neutralization hydrolysis-citric acid complexation method. The effects of La-Ni loading and calcination temperature of support on the structure and catalytic activity of the catalyst were investigated. The structural evolution of catalyst precursor before and after reduction was studied via XRD, H2-TPR, BET, XPS, TEM and other characterization methods. The results showed that the catalyst supported by homogeneous Al-Zr solid solution was beneficial to form the active component with LaNiO3 structure, and the Ni0 derived from LaNiO3 was the key factor for keeping the activity at high temperature. The La-Ni loading affected the formation of LaNiO3 and the reduction state of Ni. Among the catalysts studied, 30% of the La-Ni loading was more favorable for the formation of perovskite LaNiO3. The Ni0 and La2O3 reduced from LaNiO3 were highly dispersed on the surface of the support, and the Ni0 nanoparticles were anchored by the support and La2O3, which inhibited the migration and aggregation of Ni0 particles at high temperature and thus led to high thermal stability.

    The research of Chen et al. showed that La adjuvant could not only promote the dispersion and exposure of Ni0 active center, enhance the metal-support interaction, but also modify the surface acid-base center.16 Furthermore, the added La2O3 wrapped on Ni nanoparticles can not only effectively improve thermal stability, but also prevent carbon deposits.17 Zhu et al. confirmed that La has good anti-sintering and anti-carbon properties, and when used with Ni-based catalysts, it could significantly improve the reaction stability of the catalyst.18

    It might be attributed to LaNiO3 formation during calcination. LaNiO3 reduction forms Ni and La2O3 [24,28], which promotes LaAlO3 formation. Calcination temperature affects LaAlO3 crystallinity and hence the amount of surface lattice oxygen species [32], and it also influences the interaction between Ni and LaAlO3 support [17,33,34], which was investigated through H2-TPR tests.
