Aging studies on dual function materials Ru/Ni-Na/Ca-Al2O3 for CO2 adsorption and hydrogenation to CH4

Integrated CO2 capture and utilization (ICCU) is a promising alternative to revalue CO2. In this work, the influence of the aging process on dual function materials (DFMs) Ru/Ni-Na/Ca-Al2O3, for the conversion of CO2 into CH4 is studied. DFMs are characterized by N2 adsorption-desorption, XRD, H2 ch...

Sumario:Integrated CO2 capture and utilization (ICCU) is a promising alternative to revalue CO2. In this work, the influence of the aging process on dual function materials (DFMs) Ru/Ni-Na/Ca-Al2O3, for the conversion of CO2 into CH4 is studied. DFMs are characterized by N2 adsorption-desorption, XRD, H2 chemisorption, TEM and CO2-TPD. The catalytic behavior of the prepared DFMs is analyzed in consecutive cycles of CO2 adsorption and hydrogenation to CH4. The aging process notably limits the physicochemical properties, especially the metallic dispersion. However, the CH4 production decrease is less than 25% for aged Ru-DFMs, which makes them suitable for long-term operation. The aged DFM 4Ru-8Na2CO3/8CaO-Al2O3, presents a CH4 production greater than 275 µmol g−1 with high selectivity in the range 340–400 °C. On the other hand, the aging process is more noticeable for Ni-DFMs; in fact, it limits the CH4 production to half compared to reduced Ni-DFMs.
