Recovering beneficial metal ions from industrial effluents by suitable support can efficiently prepare specific catalysts. In this study, modified lignite was used as an ion exchange material to prepare Co-Cu bimetallic catalysts for hydrogen-rich syngas production. Among all the catalysts studied, Co75Cu15/600 exhibited the best catalytic activity and stability in steam reforming reactions. The introduction of Cu contributes to the formation of Co-Cu alloy, suppressing carbon deposition and maintaining catalyst structure.
Recovering beneficial metal ions from industrial effluents by suitable support can be an efficient and environment-friendly way to prepare specific catalysts directly. Herein, modified lignite was developed as an ion exchange material and used to prepare Co-Cu bimetallic catalysts for hydrogen-rich syngas pro-duction from steam reforming reactions. For all the catalysts studied, Co75Cu15/600 (carbonization tem-perature at 600 degrees C) exhibits the optimal catalytic activity and stability in both steam reforming of toluene and biomass tar under low temperatures. Fresh and spent catalysts were detailedly characterized to investigate the metal interactions and catalyst deactivation. The introduction of Cu contributes to the for-mation of Co-Cu alloy and the lower particle size of Co (4.17 nm), thereby suppressing the carbon depo-sition, the oxidation of metals and the change of catalyst structure after reaction. Therefore, the inexpensive and readily-available Co-Cu/C has the potential to serve as a promising catalyst for large-scale biomass gasification technology.(c) 2022 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
