Abstract

Abstract: Amorphous Ni-B/ZrO₂ catalysts were prepared by coprecipitation-chemical reduction with KBH₄ aqueous solution,and various crystalline phase ZrO₂(amorphous-ZrO₂,tetragonal-ZrO₂ and monoclinic-ZrO₂) supported Ni-B catalysts were obtained by thermal treatment in 5%H₂-N₂ stream at different temperature.The effect of ZrO₂ polymorphs and the treatment temperature on the catalytic performance for the CO selective methanation were investigated,and the catalysts were characterized by N₂ physisorption,Powder X-ray diffraction(XRD), Temperature-Programmed Desorption(CO-TPD and H₂-TPD),and Differential Scanning Calorimeter(DSC).The treatment temperature affected strongly the crystalline structure of ZrO₂,and the CO methanation activity and selectivity of the Ni-B/ZrO₂ catalysts were significantly influenced by the crystalline phase of ZrO₂.Of the three forms of ZrO₂ polymorphs(amorphou-ZrO₂,tetragonal-ZrO₂ and monoclinic-ZrO₂),the amorphous-ZrO₂ supported nickle catalyst showed highest CO methanation activity,attributing in large part to the largest specific surface area and the optimum CO/H₂ absorption intensity of the Ni-B/amorphous-ZrO₂ catalyst.
