By adjusting the ratio of metallic nickel to nickel phosphides, the properties of the catalyst were changed to investigate the synergistic effect of metallic nickel and nickel phosphides in dry methane reforming. It was found that the presence of phosphorus increased the dispersion of metallic nickel and its interaction with the alumina support, resulting in reduced carbon deposition.
A series of NiP-x/Al2O3 catalysts containing different ratio of metallic nickel to nickel phosphides, prepared by varying Ni/P molar ratio of 4, 3, 2 through a co-impregnation method, were employed to investigate the synergistic effect of metallic nickel-nickel phosphides in dry methane reforming reaction. The Ni/Al2O3 catalyst indicates good activity along with severe carbon deposition. The presence of phosphorus increases nickel dispersion as well as the interaction between nickel and alumina support, which results in smaller nickel particles. The co-existence of metallic nickel and nickel phosphides species is confirmed at all the P contained catalysts. Due to the relative stronger CO2 dissociation ability, the NiP-x/Al2O3 catalysts indicate obvious higher resistance of carbon deposition. Furthermore, because of good balance between CH4 dissociation and CO2 dissociation, NiP-2/Al2O3 catalyst exhibits best resistance of carbon deposition, few carbon depositions were formed after 50 h of dry methane reforming.
