摘要: 将柠檬酸(CA)作为络合剂添加至CeO2-Al2O3复合载体中,并考察了CA对MoO3/CeO2-Al2O3催化剂耐硫甲烷化性能的影响。活性评价结果显示,催化剂活性随柠檬酸添加量的增大而增大,当n(CA)/n(Ce)为3时,CO转化率可达60%。催化剂BET、XRD、H2-TPR及XPS等表征结果表明,在CeO2-Al2O3复合载体中加入CA,可以增大载体及催化剂的比表面积,使Mo物种分散性提高。同时,CA对Ce物种起络合作用,致使催化剂表面Ce元素含量明显增加,进而减弱了活性组分Mo物种与载体间相互作用力,并最终导致了催化剂活性的提升。

    With the deepening of natural gas shortage[1],many efforts were took to find a clean and efficient way to synthetic natural gas (SNG)[2, 3]. According to the research results,the technology of SNG production from coal not only realizes the clean utilization of coal,but also supplements the natural gas resources[4-7]. Methanation reaction is the key step in the process of SNG. Compared with Ni-based catalyst,the Mo-based catalysts have good resistance to sulfur performance[8-11]. Moreover,since the good performance in water-gas shift (WGS) reaction[11],Mo-based catalysts could also maintain great catalytic activity at low H2/CO ratios in methanation reaction[12]:

    As an effective support of catalyst,CeO2 was used for many common chemical reactions due to its good oxidation-reduction ability,such as methane reforming with CO2[13] and WGS reaction[14],etc. It is well known that ceria is usually expressed as Ce4+/Ce3+,resulting that it could facilitate the storage and release of oxygen in catalysts[15]. Zhuang et al[16] indicated that CeO2 could decrease the carbon formation on the catalyst surface during the methanation. In order to enhance the catalyst surface area,Wang et al[17] prepared CeO2-Al2O3 composite supports by different methods and suggested that the weak interaction of CeO2-Al2O3,the large specific surface area of catalysts and small crystal size of CeO2 was benefit to high activity toward CO methanation.

    With the development of modern instrumental analysis technology,the role of chelating agent were extensively and in-depth researched[18, 19]. Typically,the use of citric acid (CA) in Mo-based catalyst preparations was found to be very effective in increasing catalytic performance towards hydrogenation reaction[20-22]. Bergwerff et al[23] reported that the edge dispersion of Mo could be improved throughout the preparation process because the agglomeration of Mo was restrained by adding citric acid,resulting in the increasing activity of HDS reaction. Rinaldi et al[24] showed that the addition of citric acid could weaken the interactions between Mo and supports due to the formation of Mo-CA surface complexes. Wang et al[25] synthesized highly HDS active catalysts by adding citric acid to precursor metal salt solutions. On the one hand,the MoO3/CeO2-Al2O3 catalysts possess higher surface area and lower average pore size than the corresponding samples prepared without citric acid because of the thermal decomposition in the roasting process. On the other hand,CA could prevent the agglomeration of metal effectively.

    Obviously,citric acid is a promising chelating agent to prepare highly active hydrogenation catalysts. The present work was an attempt to research the modification of citric acid on the CeO2-Al2O3 composite support,as well as the interaction between citric acid and CeO2-Al2O3 composite support. For this purpose,the MoO3/CeO2-Al2O3-CA catalysts were prepared by impregnation method and the catalysts were characterized by BET,XRD,H2-TPR and XPS. Meanwhile,the prepared catalysts were applied to sulfur-resistant methanation in order to explore their structure-activity relationship.

    1   Experimental

    1.1   Composite support preparation

    25% CeO2-Al2O3 composite support and a series of 25% CeO2-Al2O3-CA composite supports were prepared by an impregnation technique. For the preparation of 25% CeO2-Al2O3 composite support,the γ-Al2O3 was added into a solution of a known amount of the cerium nitrate,and then the mixed solution was stirred at room temperature. The natural dried mixture was further dried at 120℃ for 4h. Then,it was calcined at 600℃ for 4h in air with a heat rate of 5℃/min.

    In the procedure of 25% CeO2-Al2O3-CA composite support preparation,the cerium nitrate was added into appropriate volume of solution which had dissolved exact amount citric acid in it. Then,the powdery γ-Al2O3 was added in the mixed solution of cerium nitrate and citric acid. The extra procedures were the same as 25% CeO2-Al2O3 composite support as described above.

    The composite supports were denoted as: CeAl,CeAl-0.5CA,CeAl-1CA and CeAl-3CA. The meaning of the number was the molar ratio of citric acid and cerium nitrate.

    1.2   Catalyst preparation

    All catalysts were prepared by impregnating the desired support which was moulded sized to 180 mesh with aqueous solutions of ammonium heptamolybdate. The mixtures were continuously stirred at room temperature and dried at 120℃ for 4h in air. Then the samples were calcined at 600℃ for 4h with a heat rate of 5℃ /min. After calcinations,the catalysts were underwent pressurization molding for 30 min by 30 MPa with the pressurization pressing machine. Finally,the catalyst after molding was sized to 20-40 mesh. For all samples,the amount of MoO3 was about 15% of supports. The catalysts were denoted as: Mo/CeAl,Mo/CeAl-0.5CA,Mo/CeAl-1CA and Mo/CeAl-3CA,respectively.

    1.3   Catalyst characterization

    1.3.5   Catalytic activity evaluation

    The catalysts for sulfur-resistant methanation activity measurements were carried out in a continuous fixed-bed reactor continuous fixed bed reactor with a gas chromatograph (Agilent 7890A) equipped with two thermal conductivity detectors and one hydrogen flame ionization detector. The temperature was controlled and detected by K-type thermocouples in the different position of the catalyst bed. For Mo-based catalyst,the sulfuration procedure was essential as pretreatment. The catalyst (3mL) was sulfurized under gas mixture about 3.0% H2S/H2 at 400℃ for 4h.

    Following pretreatment,the evaluation of sulfur-resistant methanation activity was performed under the pressure of 3MPa and at 550℃ for about 24h. The volume space velocity of feed gas (H2/CO volume ratio of 1,20% N2 and 1.2% H2S) for the reaction should be hold 5000h-1. The calculation method of reaction products including CO conversion and CH4 selectivity was shown as folows:

    where xCO and sCH4 refer to the CO conversion and CH4 selectivity,respectively.

    1.3.2   X-ray diffraction analysis

    X-ray diffraction profiles were detected with D/MAX 2500 V/PC X-ray Diffractometer oprated at 40kV and 100mA using Ni-filtered Cu Kα radiation source (λ=0.154056nm). The range of the scanning was from 5° to 75° with the rate of 8(°)/min. The phase identification of the acquired profiles should refer to the Joint Committee on Powder Diffraction Standards (JCPDS).

    1.3.1   N2 physisorption analysis

    Textural properties of prepared catalysts were acquired by N2 physisorption analysis with a Tristar-3000 apparatus of Micromeritics from the United States. As a pretreatment of the N2 physisorption analysis,the fresh samples should be degassed at 300℃ for 4h in vacuum.

    1.3.3   H2-temperature-programmed reduction analysis

    Temperature-programmed reduction was performed on a 2910 Automatic chemical adsorption instrument made by Micromeritics from the United States. In the prior treatment,the samples were purged with 99.999% Ar at 200℃ for 40min. Then,the samples were heated from 60 to 1000℃ at 10℃/min,while continuously flowing 10% H2/Ar at 30mL/min.

    1.3.4   X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis

    X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was analyzed by using Perkin Elmer PHI-1600 XPS spectrometer with Mg Kα X-ray radiation. The binding energy of C 1s at 284.6 eV was a reference to the binding energies.

    2   Results

    2.1   N2 physisorption

    The N2 physisorption results for CeAl support and Mo-CeAl catalyst samples with/without the addition of citric acid are shown in Table 1. For CeAl support samples,the specific surface area increases by the addition of citric acid,while the average pore diameter decreases. For CO2 and water vapor produced from the burning of citric acid can block the agglomeration of CeO2 and Al2O3,leading to smaller support particles. Therefore,the specific surface area and average pore diameter of support are affected due to the change of CeO2 and Al2O3 particle size. It is suggested that the textural properties of CeAl support are greatly modified by adding citric acid. The supported catalysts show relatively smaller specific surface area than supports due to the deposition of MoO3 into the prepared composite carriers.

    Table 1.  Textural properties of CeAl supports with/without the addition of citric acid and their corresponding catalysts

    2.2   XRD analysis

    The XRD spectra of both CeAl-1CA support and CeAl support are shown in Figure 1. The diffraction peaks characteristic of CeO2 are observed at 28.5°,33.3°,47.5° and 56.4°[26]. Only one diffraction peak for Al2O3 is observed at 66.6°[27]. The crystal forms of them are almost the same. And the crystal size of (111) CeO2 plane (28.5°) is calculated by using the Scherrer equation:

    Figure 1.  XRD patterns of support samples a: CeAl; b: CeAl-1CA

    In the equation,λ is stand for the wavelength (Cu Kα1,0.154nm),θ represents the diffraction angle,k represents a constant (0.89) and β is the half-width of the diffraction peak.

    The results of crystal size for CeO2 are listed in the Table 1. It is shown that the crystal size of CeO2 in CeAl-1CA support is 7.5nm,which is slightly smaller than CeAl sample. Because the difference of CeO2 crystal size for CeAl and CeAl-1CA are very small,the addition of citric acid has little impact on CeO2 crystal size.

    2.3   H2-TPR analysis

    H2-TPR profiles of Mo/CeAl catalyst and Mo/CeAl-1CA catalyst are shown in Figure 2.

    Figure 2.  H2-TPR patterns of catalyst samples a: Mo/CeAl; b: Mo/CeAl-1CA

    In both of two catalysts,the peaks derived from H2 consumption are detected at 400-600℃ and 850-1000℃. The H2-TPR peaks of the low temperature region are attributed to the reduction of octahedrally coordinated Mo6+ to Mo4+ on catalysts surface and the reduction of small crystalline MoO3 to MoO2[28, 29]. The high temperature region contains the reduction of tetrahedrally coordinated Mo6+ to Mo4+ as well as the further reduction of the agglomerate MoO3 species to crystalline MoO2[30]. It can be seen that the reducibility and interaction among different components of catalysts are changed by addition of citric acid.

    The addition of citric acid in catalysts could reduce the reduction temperature of Mo6+ in low-temperature region. And the reduction temperature shifts lower due to the decrease of interaction between octahedrally coordinated Mo6+ species and supports.

    2.4   XPS analysis

    XPS analysis was carried out to characterize the Mo/CeAl-CA catalysts with addition of different citric acid amounts. As shown in Figure 3,the ratio of Ce species to Al species on the surface of Mo/CeAl-CA catalysts is steadily increased with increasing citric acid amounts. Especially,when the value of n(CA)/n(Ce) is below 1,the Ce/Al atomic ratio increases linearly with citric acid content.

    Figure 3.  Elemental distribution of Ce in different catalysts

    When the value of n(CA)/n(Ce) reaches up 1,the increasing rate of Ce/Al atomic ratio decreases gradually because the other part of the citric acid is calcinated to CO2 and water vapor in the high-temperature calcination procedure.

    2.5   Catalytic activity evaluation

    The methanation activities of a series of Mo/CeAl-CA catalysts were tested and the results are illustrated in Figure 4.

    Figure 4.  CO methanation activity of Mo-based catalyst samples (a): CO conversion; (b): CH4 selectivity

    As the curves displayed in Figure 4(a),the methanation activity improves by adding citric acid and the conversion of CO is increased by 8.3%-11.1%. As shown in Figure 4(b),there is little difference for the selectivity to the main product on all of catalyst samples and the selectivity of CH4 on them is about 95% during the activity evaluation. Although the addition of citric acid could improve the conversion of CO obviously,the selectivity of CH4 has no significant change.

    3   Discussions

    3.1   Effect of citric acid addition on the CeAl support and Mo/CeAl catalyst preparation

    The N2 physisorption results clearly suggest that the specific surface area of CeAl supports increases with adding citric acid. It is indicated that citric acid could be effectively introduced into the pore of catalysts to modify the textural properties of catalysts.

    Moreover,XPS analysis indicates that the amounts of Ce species on catalyst surface increase obviously with increasing citric acid content. It is reported[31] that MoO3 loaded on CeO2 supports is easier to reduce and sulfide than MoO3 loaded on Al2O3 supports. In other words,the interactions between MoO3 and CeO2 are weaker than those between MoO3 and Al2O3. Accordingly,combined with XPS and H2-TPR results,the reduction of MoO3 could be easier by adding citric acid. Additionally,as demonstrated in Figure 1,the crystal form of CeAl support cannot be changed by adding citric acid.

    3.2   Influence of the additive amount of citric acid on catalytic activity of Mo/CeAl catalyst

    According to XPS,the results of element content analysis demonstrate that the reaction between Ce(NO3)3 and citric acid can be occurred in the preparation process of CeAl support. The Ce species can be brought from inside of catalyst to outside by reacting with citric acid.

    As the results presented in Figure 4,the conversion of CO on Mo/CeAl increases with the increase of amount of citric acid gradually. It is reported[32] that a weak interaction between the active phase and support could increase catalytic performance. According to XPS and H2-TPR results,the presence of CeO2 can decrease the interaction between MoO3 and Al2O3. The catalytic behavior of Mo/CeAl catalyst is enhanced with increasing amount of Ce species on the surface of catalyst. Accordingly,the increase of the additive amount of citric acid is beneficial to increasing CO conversion.

    4   Conclusions

    A series of Mo/CeAl catalysts with adding different amount of citric acid were prepared by impregnation method and tested toward sulfur-resistant methanation of syngas. Among these tested catalysts,the experimental results showed that the additive amount of citric acid could affect the catalytic performance remarkably and the conversion of CO was improved gradually with the increase of additive amount. Based on the BET data,it was found that addition of citric acid to CeAl support could increase the specific surface area and decrease the average pore diameter which could to be favor to the high dispersion of Mo particles on CeAl support. The H2-TPR and XPS results demonstrated that the amount of Ce species on the surface of the catalysts could increase with the increased addition of citric acid and further led to the weaker interaction between Mo species and composite support. Complementally,the XRD results illustrated that the crystal forms of Ce species were not changed by adding citric acid.
