The CO (Dry) Reforming of Methane (DRM) is a key process for reducing CO and CH emissions while producing syngas with an H/CO ratio of 1, ideal for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. This study explores DRM and the Reverse Water Gas Shift (RWGS) reaction under mild conditions using Ru-based catalysts supported on CeO, YSZ, TiO, and SiO, with three reactant ratios: (i) stoichiometric, PCO = 1 kPa, PCH = 1 kPa, (ii) oxidizing, PCO = 2 kPa, PCH = 1 kPa, and (iii) reducing, PCO = 1 kPa, PCH = 4 kPa. The results highlight the importance of redox support for catalyst stability, with mobile lattice oxygen aiding carbon gasification. While Ru/CeO is stable at high temperatures, it rapidly deactivates at low temperatures, emphasizing the need for precise metal particle size control. This work demonstrates the necessity of fine-tuning catalyst properties for more sustainable DRM, offering insights for next-generation CO utilization catalysts.
甲烷干重整(DRM)是减少一氧化碳(CO)和甲烷(CH)排放的关键过程,同时可生产出氢碳比为1的合成气,这对于费托合成来说是理想的。本研究探索了在温和条件下,使用负载在CeO、YSZ、TiO和SiO上的钌基催化剂进行DRM和逆水煤气变换(RWGS)反应,采用了三种反应物比例:(i)化学计量比,PCO = 1 kPa,PCH = 1 kPa;(ii)氧化型,PCO = 2 kPa,PCH = 1 kPa;(iii)还原型,PCO = 1 kPa,PCH = 4 kPa。结果突出了氧化还原载体对催化剂稳定性的重要性,其中可移动的晶格氧有助于碳气化。虽然Ru/CeO在高温下稳定,但在低温下会迅速失活,这强调了精确控制金属颗粒尺寸的必要性。这项工作证明了微调催化剂性能以实现更可持续的DRM的必要性,为下一代CO利用催化剂提供了见解。
