Abstract

The methane dry reforming has received the considerable attention in recent years, mainly as an attractive route to produce synthesis gas (CO, $H_2$) from green-house gases ($CH_4$, $CO_2$) for resources. However, this process has not been commercialized due to the high temperature and catalyst deactivation. In this study, Co-Ru-Zr catalysts supported on $SiO_2$ were studied for the characterization of methane dry reforming reaction and the preliminary data for process development were achieved. The crystal structure of catalysts was measured by XRD, the surface area and pore size were analyzed by BET, and the element composition of catalyst were analyzed by EDS. Conversions of methane and carbon dioxide were analyzed by GC. In addition, reaction rate constants were obtained from the reaction kinetic study and the optimum catalyst size that does not affect mass transfer from reactants was also determined. The selected pellet-type catalyst maintained activation for 720 h at $850^{\circ}C$.

메탄 개질반응($CH_4$ reforming)은 온실가스($CH_4$$CO_2$)를 합성가스(CO, $H_2$)로 전환시켜 온실가스를 자원화 한다는 점에서 활발하게 연구가 진행되고 있다. 그러나 촉매 비활성화와 고온 반응으로 인해 아직 상업화된 공정이 없는 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 Co, Ru, Zr 금속과 담지체로 $SiO_2$를 이용해 Co-Ru-Zr-Si (CRZS)촉매를 제조하고 이를 성형하여 메탄개질반응 특성을 연구하고, 공정 개발을 위한 기초 자료를 얻고자 하였다. 성형촉매의 특성을 알아보기 위해 XRD, BET 그리고 EDS로 분석하였고, 메탄 및 이산화탄소 전환율은 GC (TCD detector)로 분석하였다. 또한 반응속도론적 연구로 부터 반응속도상수를 구하였으며 반응물의 물질전달영향을 받지 않는 촉매크기를 선정하였다. 선정된 성형촉매는 $850^{\circ}C$, 720 h에서도 활성을 유지하였다.
