摘要
Nanostructured Ni-incorporated mesoporous alumina (MAI) materials with different Ni loading (7, 10 and 15 wt %) were prepared by a template assisted hydrothermal synthesis method and tested as catalysts for CO2 reforming of methane under different conditions (nickel loading, gas hourly space velocity (GHSV), reaction temperature and time-on-stream (TOS)). The most active catalyst tested (Ni(10 wt%)-MAI) showed a very high stability over 200 h compared to a Ni(10 wt%)gamma-Al2O3 prepared using a co-precipitation method which had a significant loss in activity after only 4 h of testing. The high stability of the Ni-MAI materials prepared by the template assisted method was due to the Ni nanoparticles in these catalysts being highly stable towards migration/sintering under the reaction conditions used (800 degrees C, 52,000 mL h(-1) g(-1)). The low susceptibility of the Ni nanoparticles in these catalysts to migration/sintering was most likely due to a strong Ni-support interaction and/or active metal particles being confined to the mesoporous channels of the support. The Ni-MAI catalysts also had significantly lower amounts of carbon deposited compared to the catalyst prepared using the co-precipitation method.
