The Ni loading (mass fraction) of the catalysts was 10%. The catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction, temperature-programmed oxidation (TPO), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The effects of calcined temperature of support on coke deposition were studied. TPO, SEM and XPS results indicated there was no peak of higher temperature oxygen consumption on Ni-Cu/ZrO2-CeO2-Al2O3 catalyst (support was calcined at 800 ℃), which could lead to the deactivation of the catalyst. The carbon species were carbonate and inactive carbon (filamentous carbon species) on the surface of catalyst reacting for 40 h which perhaps led to the deactivation of the catalyst.展开更多

However, most literature reported either Rh- or FePO4-based catalysts, and the results were rarely studied in a uniform environmental condition. In this report, comparative study was conducted on silica- and silicon carbide-supported rhodium and iron phosphate catalysts with the main focuses on stability performance and coke deposition. The catalytic results demonstrated that the stability of both Rh- and FePO4-based catalysts was greatly influenced by the supports used, and silicon carbide-supported catalysts showed much better anti-coking ability as compared with silica-supported ones. Temperature-programmed oxidation over the used catalysts further indicated that the coke formation mechanisms were completely different between silica-supported rhodium and iron phosphate catalysts. While cokes might be caused by condensation of CH2Br2over supported iron phosphate, methane decomposition might be the reason for coke formation over silica-supported rhodium catalyst. These findings might pave the way for designing highly efficient and stable catalysts of the OBM reaction.展开更多

The aromatization performance of the catalysts was in- vestigated on a fixed bed reactor by using FCC gasoline as feedstock. The crystal phase, morphology, pore struc- tures, acidity and coke depositions of the hierarchical ZSM-5 zeolites were characterized by means of X-ray diffrac- tion (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), N2 adsorption/desorption, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and thermogravimetry-mass spectrogram (TG-MS), respectively. The results show that the prepared hierarchical ZSM-5 zeolite possesses excellent porosity and high crystallinity, displaying an improved aromatization performance and carbon deposition resistance due to its meso- and macroporous structures.展开更多

Temperature programing oxidation test and Raman spectrum results indicated the formation of complex and ordered carbon structures at high deposition temperatures. The values of I(D)/I(G) of the deposited carbon reached 1.86, 1.30, and 1.22 in the first, second, and third stages, respectively. The structure of carbon in the second stage was similar to that in the third stage. Carbon deposited in the first stage rarely contained homogeneous pyrolytic deposit layers. A kinetic model was developed to analyze the carbon deposition behavior in the first stage. The rate-determining step of the first stage is supposed to be interfacial reaction. Based on the investigation of carbon deposition kinetics on nickel powders from different resources, carbon deposition rate is suggested to have a linear relation with the square of specific surface area of nickel particles.展开更多

In ...Catalytic oxidation of CH_(4) has been proved to be an attractive option for landfill gas(LFG) upgrading.However, coking of catalysts in catalytic LFG deoxygen has been clearly observed in industrial applications. In this regard, it is necessary to investigate whether coke deposition originates from CH_(4) or volatile organic compounds present in LFG, and the influence of coke deposition on catalytic performance. Herein,we evaluate the LFG deoxygen on Pt/γ-Al_(2)O_(3) catalyst in simulated LFG(CH_(4), CO_(2), O_(2), N_(2)) and its co-feed with representative volatile organic compounds, ethylbenzene, toluene, benzene and cyclohexane. The results show that the coking of the catalyst is originated from volatile organic compounds rather than CH_(4). The Pt/γ-Al_(2)O_(3) catalyst does not deactivate during LFG deoxygen process, even significant amount of coke deposited, up to 18.15%(mass). Characterization analyses reveal that although coke deposition overall covers the catalyst surface, resulting in mesopores blockage and a reduced number of accessible Pt sites, however, the coke formed, H-rich carbonaceous components, behaves as counterpart for O_(2) elimination. Besides, the coke deposited is mainly filamentous. Thus, coke formation has little negative effect on the overall catalytic performance of Pt/γ-Al_(2)O_(3) catalyst ultimately. The results obtained in this work are helpful for the rational design of robust Pt based catalysts for LFG deoxygen without undue attention to their coking properties, and also favor the innovation of more attractive purification scheme configurations.展开更多
