摘要
采用沉淀法分别以乙醇洗涤和以乙醇洗涤后再以水洗涤氢氧化镍,焙烧制备了不同形貌非负载型镍催化剂,对催化剂进行了X射线衍射(XRD)表征,分析了催化剂暴露的晶面,考察了CO_2对该催化剂CH4裂解性能的影响。结果表明:反应气氛中引入~8%(vol)的CO_2可显著提高Ni-et的甲烷裂解性能;同时也可小幅提高Ni-etwt的甲烷裂解性能;适量CO_2的存在可阻止活性较低的非负载型镍的活性位在反应过程中被产物碳包裹,从而有效提高其活性。活性较高的Ni-etwt催化剂不易因被产物碳包裹而失活,使CO_2对其裂解活性影响较小。当CO_2含量较高(~50%)时,CO_2的存在会使更多反应掉的CH4不能全部转化为碳纳米材料和氢气,降低甲烷裂解的选择性;因此,过高含量的CO_2不利于催化剂催化甲烷裂解制氢和碳纳米材料。
The non-supported nickel catalysts were prepared by calcination of the ethanol rinsed nickel hydroxide precipitates(Ni-et) and calcination of the nickel hydroxide precipitates rinsed first by ethanol and subsequently by deionized water(Ni-etwt).The exposed crystal plane was analysed by X-ray diffraction(XRD) characterization.The catalytic performance of Ni-et catalyst which exhibited a worse catalytic activity for pure methane decomposition was enhanced by the presence of ~ 8%(vol) CO_2 in volume remarkably,while the catalytic performance of Ni-etwt catalyst which exhibited a better catalytic activity was enhanced not so obviously as the Ni-et catalyst.It was concluded from the analysis of the exposed crystal plane according to the XRD results that an appropriate content of CO_2 in the reaction atmosphere could inhibit the covering of the active sites which were fewer for Ni-et catalyst,and the catalytic activity was enhanced effectively;while there were more active sites for Ni-etwt catalyst,and the catalyst could not deactivate easily by the encapsulation of the active site,so the effect of CO_2 on the catalytic performances of Ni-etwt catalyst was limited;when the content of CO_2 in the reaction atmosphere was increased to50%,there were more reacted CH4 that could not converted to carbon nanofiber and hydrogen completely,and the selectivity of methane decomposition was decreased.Therefore,high content of CO_2 was not beneficial to methane decomposition.
