Morphology of Ruthenium Particles for Methanation under Reactive Conditions
نویسندگان
چکیده
The potential of hydrogen as a future energy carrier is only fully unleashed if fuel processors generating hydrogen of a suitable purity can be engineered. Selective methanation of CO can be used as a first step for cleaning up feed gas for e.g. proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells [1] where CO poisons the platinum electrodes and for removing oxygen containing compounds in hydrogen feeds used in ammonia plants [2].

Experimentally designed optimized conditions for catalytic performance of nanostructured RuO2 in Biginelli reaction
Nanostructured RuO2 powders were synthesized via a hydrothermal method at 180 °C for 12 h using 1 and 2 M NaOH aqueous solutions. The structure of the obtained nanomaterials was investigated by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) technique. The morphology the obtained materials were studied by field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM). The technique showed that with changing the reaction ...
متن کاملIs the methanation reaction over Ru single crystals structure dependent?
The influence of monoatomic steps and defects on the methanation reaction over ruthenium has been investigated. The experiments are performed on a Ru(0 1 54) ruthenium single crystal, which contains one monoatomic step atom for each 27 terrace atoms. The methanation activity is measured at one bar of hydrogen and CO in a high pressure cell, which enables simultaneous measurements of the local r...

An empirical rate equation was obtained for the methanation kinetics catalyzed by MCR-2X, a commercial catalyst prepared by Haldor-Topsoe. The studies were carried out in a fixed-bed reactor under differential conditions, and in a gradientless recycle reactor (Berry) over a range of total pressures, reactant concentractions (H2/CO ratios), and temperatures. The kinetics of methanation were foun...

The kinetics of the reaction of H, and CO over single crystals of nickel ((100) and (111)) and ruthenium ((110) and (001)) have been studied as a function of pressure and Hz/CO ratio. A striking correlation has been observed between the measured surface carbide concentration and the rate of methane production while varying the Ha/CO ratio and the total pressure. This correlation is shown to be ...

A perovskite-structured barium zirconate, BaZrO3 (BZ), support is demonstrated to enhance the activity, relative to γ-Al2O3, of Co nanoparticle catalysts decorated with Pt for CO2 methanation. The CO2 methanation reaction may play a central role in both CO2 utilization and energy storage strategies for renewable energy. These catalysts require cooperative hydrogen transport between the supporte...
