摘要
The deactivation mechanism of Co/MgO catalyst for the reforming of methane with carbon dioxide was investigated. The conversion of CH4 displayed a significant decrease in the initial stage caused by carbon deposition.There were two types of cokes, carbon nanotubes(CNTs) and carbon nano-onions(CNOs). The number of the CNO layers that coated on the surface of Co nanoparticles(NPs) increased rapidly in the initial reforming time,which was responsible for the deactivation of the Co/MgO catalyst. The deposition of CNOs was attributed to the oxidation of Co NPs. Therefore, the deactivation of the Co/MgO catalyst was originated from the first oxidization of the Co NPs into Co3 O4 by O species(OH intermediate, CO_2, H2 O) during the reforming reaction,which accelerates the formation of coke that blocked the active metal, thus led to catalyst deactivation.
