Pre-reforming of Liquefied Petroleum Gas over Magnesium Aluminum Mixed Oxide Supported Nickel Catalysts

Abstract

Abstract: The catalytic performance of Ni catalysts supported on magnesium aluminum mixed oxide (Ni/Mg_mAl) for the pre-reforming of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) was studied, and the catalysts were prepared by the co-precipitation-impregnation method and calcined in the lower temperature range of 400–700 ^oC. The X-ray diffraction and H₂temperature-programmed reduction results showed that Ni species were highly dispersed on the catalyst surface without NiAl₂O₄ spinel formation. The Ni/Mg_mAl catalysts could be reduced to metallic Ni nanoparticles at 650 ^oC, which showed excellent catalytic activity and stability for LPG pre-reforming at 400 ^oC and a low steam/carbon molar ratio of 2.0. The effects of Mg/Al molar ratios, Ni loading, and calcination temperature of the support and catalyst on the catalytic behavior of the Ni/Mg_mAl catalysts were investigated in detail. The results revealed that the 15%Ni/Mg_1.25Al catalyst with both support and catalyst calcined at 500 ^oC had the optimal catalytic performance for LPG pre-reforming. Compared with Ni/Mg_mAl catalysts calcined at high temperature (≥ 800 ^oC), the present catalysts showed easier coke deposition and a slight decrease in catalytic activity and stability. However, it may be more promising candidate for LPG pre-reforming for the use of hydrogen fuel cells in transportation and small stationary application due to lower reduction temperature.
