摘要
The partial oxidation of methane to synthesis gas has been investigated over various supported metal catalysts. The effects of operational variables on mass and heat transport resistances were investigated for defining the kinetic regime. It is observed that, in the absence of significant mass and heat transfer resistances, high selectivity (up to 65%) to synthesis gas is obtained over Ru/TiO2 catalysts in the low methane conversion range (X(O2) < 100%) whereas only negligibly small selectivity to synthesis gas is observed over all other catalysts investigated under similar conditions. This indicates that the Ru/TiO2 catalyst possesses unique properties, offering high selectivity to synthesis gas formation via the direct reaction scheme, whereas the other catalysts promote the sequence of total oxidation of methane to CO2 and H2O, followed by reforming reactions to synthesis gas. An increase of selectivity to synthesis gas, in the presence of oxygen, is achieved over the Ru/TiO2 catalyst by multi-feeding oxygen, which is attributed to suppression of deep oxidation of H-2 and CO.
