공업화학, 촉매/반응공학 : 니켈촉매를 이용한 메탄의 부분산화에 의한 합성가스 제조 = Industrial Chemistry, Catalysis/Reaction Engineering : Partial Oxidation of Methane to Synthesis Gas over Mi Catalysts

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Synthesis gas producution by partial oxidation of methane has been investigated using BaO, CaO and MgO supported Ni catalysts. The catalysts were prepared by the impregnation method. The reaction was carried out at I atm, 750℃, and CH_4:O_2=2:1. The highest catalytic activity was obtained with MgO support when Ni loading was 13 wt%. With the 13 wt% Ni/MgO catalyst, methane conversion was 80%, and CO and H_2 selectivities were 93% and 94%, respectively. The activity of the catalyst remained nearly constant after 180h of the reaction. To investigate the reaction mechanism of this reaction, the temperature of the actalyst bed at top and products were determined with time; and O_2-TPD experiment was carried out. From the results, it is deduced that the reaction takes place by a two-step reaction-first, total oxidation of methane to CO_2 and H_2O takes place, and then the produced CO_2 and H_2O are further reacted with CH_4 to give synthesis gas.
