摘要: 吸附强化CH4/H2O重整制氢技术通过原位移除反应产生的CO2实现一步法制备高浓度H2,但该技术常用复合催化剂中的吸附组分CaO在吸脱附CO2时的体积变化会造成复合催化剂结构的坍塌,同时活性组分Ni也被反应生成的CaCO3包埋,造成催化和吸附性能的下降,严重影响制取H2的浓度。本研究利用阳离子表面活性剂辅助刻蚀的机理采用自模板法制备了CaO-Ca3Al2O6@Ni-SiO2复合催化剂。在吸附强化CH4/H2O重整制氢实验中,该复合催化剂制氢浓度达到99.6%,且10次循环后制氢浓度为97.3%,其高活性高稳定性归因于复合催化剂中的吸附组分CaO-Ca3Al2O6在反应-再生循环过程中体积反复膨胀收缩的过程均在SiO2空腔内进行,不会造成复合催化剂结构的坍塌,同时复合催化剂制备过程中采用SiO2包覆活性组分Ni防止了其在脱碳再生过程中团聚失活,但结构表征发现,复合催化剂的催化组分中仅有一部分是以Ni为核、SiO2为壳的核壳结构,还存在部分Ni直接负载在壳层SiO2上,这是导致10次循环反应中CH4转化率从99.5%降至91.8%的原因。Abstract: Sorption-enhanced steam methane reforming achieves one-step production of high purity hydrogen by in-situ removal of CO2. However, the volume change of the adsorption component CaO in the composite catalyst during the adsorption and desorption of CO2 generally caused the structure collapse of the composite catalyst. At the same time, the active component Ni would also be embedded by the generated CaCO3, resulting in the decline of catalytic and adsorption performance and seriously affecting the purity of hydrogen production. How to prepare bifunctional composite catalyst with high stability is one of the key problems to be solved in the industrial application of this technology. In this work, CaO-Ca3Al2O6@Ni-SiO2 composite catalyst was prepared by the self-template approach using the cationic surfactant-assisted etching mechanism. In the experiment of hydrogen production by adsorption enhanced CH4/H2O reforming, the hydrogen production concentration over the composite catalyst reached 99.6%, and it still remained 97.3% after 10 cycles, which was closely related to the special structure of the prepared CaO-Ca3Al2O6@Ni-SiO2 composite catalyst. When the reaction was proceeded, the repeated expansion and contraction of CaO-Ca3Al2O6 volume in the composite catalyst was performed in the SiO2 cavity and would not cause the structure collapse of the composite catalyst. At the same time, the SiO2 coating on catalytic component Ni could prevent its agglomeration and deactivation during the decarburization and regeneration process. However, it was found that only part of the catalytic component Ni possessed a core-shell structure with Ni as the core and SiO2 as the shell, and there were some Ni directly loaded on the shell SiO2, leading to CH4 conversion dropping from 99.5% to 91.8% in 10 cycles.
