Abstract

본 연구에서는 메탄 습식 개질 반응용 Ni/Al2O3 촉매에 첨가된 CexZr1-xO2(CZ)가 촉매 반응 효율에 미치는 효과를 조사하였다. 반응 실험 결과, CZ 조촉매가 첨가된 Ni/Al2O3 촉매는 동일 온도, 동일 steam to carbon ratio에서 Ni/Al2O3 촉매보다 높은 메탄 전환율과 수소 수율을 보였다. 특성 분석 결과, 두 촉매 모두 유사한 기공 구조와 비슷한 Ni 분산 도를 가지고 있어 이는 반응 효율에 영향을 미치는 요소가 아님을 확인하였다. 하지만, 라만 분광 분석결과에서 CZ 조 촉매 첨가 Ni/Al2O3 촉매는 Ni/Al2O3 촉매와 달리 CZ상에서 oxygen vacancy가 존재하고, 이는 상대적으로 낮은 반응 온도에서 물 활성화를 촉진시키는 것으로 확인되었다. CZ 조촉매 상의 oxygen vacancy에 의한 물 활성화는 저온 영 역에서 CZ 조촉매 첨가 Ni/Al2O3 촉매의 습식 개질 반응 성능을 증대시켰다.

In this study, we investigated the effect of the CexZr1-xO2 (CZ) addition onto Ni/Al2O3 catalysts on the catalytic performance in methane steam reforming. In the reaction results, the CZ-added Ni/Al2O3 catalyst showed higher CH4 conversion and H2 yield under the same reaction conditions than Ni/Al2O3. From the characterization data, the two catalysts had similar support porosity and Ni dispersion, confirming that the two properties could not determine the catalytic performance. However, the oxygen vacancy over the CZ-added Ni/Al2O3 catalyst induced an efficient steam activation at low reaction temperatures, resulting in an increase in the catalytic activity and H2 yield.
