Abstract

Abstract:

Hexahydrated cerium(Ⅲ) nitrate (Ce(NO₃)₃·6H₂O) and tetraethyl orthosilicate (C₈H₂₀O₄Si) were used as the precursors for the synthesis of a series of xCeO₂-(1-x)SiO₂ (x = 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1) composite oxides using a sol-gel process under acidic conditions. The active component, Ni, was loaded on the as-synthesized composite oxides, producing supported Ni catalysts for catalytic partial oxidation of methane to syngas. The properties of the as-synthesized products, such as textural structure, reduction behavior, surface acidity, and carbon deposition, were determined using N₂ physical adsorption/desorption, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, temperature-programmed reduction by H₂, temperature-programmed desorption of NH₃, and thermogravimetric analysis. The effects of catalyst composition, calcination temperature, and reaction time on the catalytic performance were investigated. The characterization results showed that these Ni/CeO₂-SiO₂ catalysts have large surface area, small CeO₂ crystals, weak acidity, and low carbon deposition. Highly dispersed NiO is present and is easy to be reduced. The Ni/CeO₂-SiO₂ catalyst with a Ce/Si molar ratio of 1:1, w(Ni) = 10%, and calcined at 700℃ exhibited good stability and the highest CH₄ conversion (~84%) and CO and H₂ selectivity (> 87%).

Key words: Sol-gel process, Ceria-silica composite oxide, Supported nickel catalyst, Partial oxidation of methane, Syngas
