Characterization and catalytic performance of Fe3Ni8/palygorskite for catalytic cracking of benzene
Abstract Catalytic decomposition is a very attractive way to convert tar components into H2, CO and other useful chemicals. The performance of Fe3Ni8/PG (palygorskite, PG) reduced in hydrogen at different temperatures for the catalytic decomposition of benzene has been assessed. Benzene was used as the model biomass tar. The effects of calcination atmosphere, temperatures and benzene concentration on catalytic cracking of benzene were measured. The results of XRD (X-Ray Diffraction), TEM (Transmission Electron Microscope), TPR (Temperature Program Reduction), TPSR (Temperature Program Surface Reduction), TC (Total Carbon), the reactivity component and reaction mechanism over Fe3Ni8/PG for catalytic cracking of benzene are discussed. The results showed particles of awaruite (Fe, Ni) about 2–30nm were found on the surface of palygorskite by TEM when the calcination temperature was 600°C. Particles with size smaller than 30nm were obtained on all prepared Fe3Ni8/PG catalysts as shown by XRD. The nanoparticles proved to be the reactive component for catalytic cracking of benzene and the increase of active particle size caused the decrease in the reactivity of Fe3Ni8/PG. Fe3Ni8/PG annealed in hydrogen at 600°C was proved to have the best reactivity in experiments (45% hydrogen yield). High concentration benzene (448g/m3) accelerated the formation of carbon deposition. However, iron oxide decreases carbon deposition and increases the stability of catalyst for catalytic cracking of benzene. The application of Fe3Ni8/PG catalysts was proved a very effective catalyst for the catalytic cracking of benzene.
Highlights ► Fe3Ni8/PG with small particles size (2–30nm or so) prepared by co-precipitation. ► Palygorskite can be used as carrier for supporting active component. ► Awaruite (Fe–Ni) plays an important role in bond of C―H. ► The formation of iron oxide decreases carbon deposition.
