These catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction （XRD）, H2 temperature programmed reduction （TPR） and thermogravimetric analysis （TGA） techniques. The XRD and TPR studies showed that Ni was present as Ni2＋ on the support, which indicated that there were no elemental nickel （Ni^0） and Ni203 species in the unreduced samples. Increasing of calcination temperature to 650 ℃ leads to destruction of the support structure observed in TGA, while the catalyst sample calcined at 550 ℃ exhibits better performances than other samples. The ideal conversion of maleic anhydride （97.14%） and selectivity of succinic anhydride （99.55%） were realized at a reaction temperature of 180 ℃ and a weight hourly space velocity of 4 h^-1 under a reaction pressure of 1 MPa.展开更多
