The performance of nickel catalyst supported on lanthana-modified hydroxyapatite (HAP) in CO2 methanation was investigated, with La addition improving the dispersion and reducibility of Ni particles, increasing the amounts of basic sites and their thermal stability, leading to enhanced catalytic activity.
The performance of nickel supported on lanthana-modified hydroxyapatite (HAP) catalysts is investigated in the CO2 methanation. The addition of La (1-6.6 wt%) leads to a surface enrichment following a sequential multilayer deposition model. Moreover, La addition systematically improves the dispersion of Ni particles and their reducibility, which in turn increases spectacularly the amounts of basic sites and their thermal stability. Such physicochemical changes impact positively on the activity of the catalysts in CO2 methanation. The estimated turnover frequency (TOF) suggest that the small Ni particles are the most efficient. The latter seem to provide a large density of very active defects on Ni-La2O3 interface. The optimized catalyst proves to be highly resistant to deactivation during 100 h time-on-stream (TOS). The samples were also assayed as dual function materials (DFMs) for CO2 adsorption and methanation. A scheme is proposed to describe the different steps involved in a CO2 adsorption/hydrogenation cycle.
