Perovskite LaFeO_3 supported bi-metal catalyst for syngas methanation

LaFeO3 perovskite supported Ni and Ni-Fe catalysts were prepared and applied to methanation reaction of syngas.Two preparation methods were employed.One was one-step citrate complexing method,and the other was a two step method using citrate complexing method to produce LaFeO3 and followed by loading nickel oxide on it with impregnation.The structure evolution of the sample as prepared was investigated by XRD,TPR and TEM techniques.For the former,the chemical composites of the calcined sample are NiO-Fe2O3/LaFe1-xNix O3.After reduction and reaction of CO methanation,its composites convert to Fe-Ni@Ni/LaFeO3-La2O2CO3,in which Fe-Ni@Ni is metal particles in nano-size composed of nickel core and Fe-Ni alloy shell.For the latter,the chemical composites of the calcined sample are NiO/LaFeO3; and after reduction and reaction of CO methanation,its chemical composites change to Ni/LaFeO3.Ni/LaFeO3 catalyst is a little more active, while Fe-Ni@Ni/LaFeO3-La2O2CO3 is much more stable and shows very good resistance to carbon deposition.In this work it is aimed to show that the structure and composites of the catalysts can be tailored using perovskite-type oxide as precursor prepared with different methods and conditions.Therefore,it is a promising route to prepare supported bi-metal catalysts in nano-size for a lot of metals with desired catalytic performances.
