The catalysts were characterized with N_2 adsorption–desorption, XRD, H_2-TPR, and NH_3-TPD, and were tested in sulfur-resistant methanation. The results indicated that the MoO_3/CeO_2–Al_2O_3 catalysts modified by boron showed higher catalytic performance in sulfur-resistant methanation. The CO conversion increased from 47% to 62% with 0.5 wt% boron content. When the content of boron was under 0.5 wt%, the results suggested there was an increase in the amorphous form of MoO_3 caused by the generation of weak and intermediate acid sites, which had weakened the interaction between the active components and supports. While, the catalyst added 2.0 wt% boron showed the strong acid sites and the largest crystalline size resulting in the uneven distribution of ceria.展开更多
