摘要: 通过水热法合成了Al2O3纳米片(Al2O3-CN),采用浸渍法制备20%(质量分数)钴基催化剂,并应用于费托合成反应。制备的Al2O3-CN(226 m2/g)与商业氧化铝(Al2O3-C,249 m2/g)具有相近的比表面积,但Al2O3-CN孔尺寸分布更加集中。浸渍钴后,与Co/Al2O3-C催化剂相比,Co/Al2O3-CN催化剂表现出较高的还原度及更均匀的钴颗粒粒径分布。因此,Co/Al2O3-CN催化剂表现出更高的CO转化率和低的甲烷选择性。为了进一步提高Co/Al2O3-CN的催化性能,采用不同含量ZrO2对Al2O3-CN进行修饰。表征结果表明,随着ZrO2修饰量的增加,Al2O3-CN载体比表面积变化不明显,孔体积和孔径增大;相对应催化剂的钴颗粒粒径减小,活性位点数目增加。在相同反应条件下,经ZrO2修饰催化剂CO转化率进一步提高,甲烷选择性降低。Abstract: Al2O3 nano-sheet (Al2O3-CN) was synthesized under hydrothermal condition. The cobalt-based catalyst of 20% (mass fraction) was prepared by impregnation method and applied to Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. The Al2O3-CN (226 m2/g) and commercial alumina (Al2O3-C, 249 m2/g) have similar specific surface area, but Al2O3-CN has more narrow pore size distribution. Compared with Co/Al2O3-C catalyst, Co/Al2O3-CN catalyst showed higher reduction degree and more uniform cobalt particle size distribution after impregnation. Thus, Co/Al2O3-CN catalyst exhibited higher CO conversion and lower methane selectivity. In order to further improve the catalytic performance of Co/Al2O3-CN, Al2O3-CN was modified with ZrO2. The characterization results showed that with the increase of ZrO2, the specific surface of Al2O3-CN did not change significantly, and the pore volume and pore diameter increased. The cobalt particle size decreased and the number of active sites increased. Under the same reaction conditions, the CO conversion rate of catalysts modifield by ZrO2 was farther improved and selectivity of methane was decreased.
