Abstract

The present invention relates to a dry reforming catalyst in which an active material is impregnated on the surface of a metal oxide support and the active material is surrounded by a surfactant, a method of preparing the same, and a method of producing a synthetic gas using the catalyst. Since the surfactant on the surface of the active material prevents the active material from being sintered and the active material surface from being covered with carbon, the dry reforming catalyst exhibits high activity at high temperature for a long period of time without having to use a precious metal, and thus is useful for the production of a synthetic gas.

Claims (17)

1. A dry reforming catalyst in which an active material is impregnated on a surface of a metal oxide support and the active material is surrounded by a surfactant,

wherein the weight ratio of the active material: the metal oxide support: the surfactant is 0.01 to 40:59.6 to 99.5:0.04;

the metal oxide is one or more selected from the group consisting of MgO, TiO 2 , Al 2 O 3 , SiO 2 , CrO 2 , Fe 2 O 3 , Fe 3 O 4 , CuO, ZnO, CaO, Sb 2 O 4 , Co 3 O 4 , Pb 3 O 4 , Mn 3 O 4 , Ag 2 O 2 , U 3 O 8 , Cu 2 O, Li 2 O, Rb 2 O, Ag 2 O, Tl 2 O, BeO, CdO, TiO, GeO 2 , HfO 2 , PbO 2 , MnO 2 , TeO 2 , SnO 2 , La 2 O 3 , CeO 2 , WO 2 , UO 2 , ThO 2 , TeO 2 and MoO 3 ;

the active material is one or more selected from the group consisting of nickel (Ni), cobalt Co), ruthenium (Ru), palladium (Pd), iridium (Ir), platinum (Pt), rhodium (Rh) and molybdenum carbide (Mo 2 C);

the active material further comprises a promoter; and

the promoter is Molybdenum (Mo).

2. The dry reforming catalyst of claim 1 , wherein the dry reforming catalyst has a pore area of greater than 0 to 5,000 m 2 /g and a CO 2 and CH 4 conversion of 95 to 98%.

4. A method of preparing a dry reforming catalyst of claim 1 , comprising:

(a) obtaining a mixture by dissolving an active material precursor, a metal oxide support and a surfactant in a polyol solvent; and

(b) preparing a catalyst in which the active material is impregnated on the surface of the metal oxide support by adding a reducing agent to the mixture.

5. The method of preparing a dry reforming catalyst of claim 4 , wherein the active material is nickel (Ni).

6. The method of preparing a dry reforming catalyst of claim 4 , wherein a precursor of nickel is one or more selected from the group consisting of NiCl 2 , NiCl 2 .6H 2 O, Ni(NO 3 ) 2 , NiSO 4 , (NH 4 ) 2 Ni(SO 4 ) 2 .6H 2 O, Ni(OCOCH 3 ) 2 .4H 2 O, NiBr 2 , NiCO 3 , NiF 2 , NiI 2 , NiC 2 O 4 .2H 2 O, and Ni(ClO 4 ) 2 .6H 2 O.

8. The method of preparing a dry reforming catalyst of claim 4 , wherein the reducing agent is one or more selected from the group consisting of hydrazine, NaBH 4 , LiAlH 4 , diisobutylaluminum hydride (DIBAL-H) and diborane.

9. A method of dry reforming methane, the method comprises producing a synthetic gas composed of hydrogen and carbon monoxide by reacting methane with carbon dioxide at 600 to 800° C. in the presence of the dry reforming catalyst of claim 1 .

10. The method of dry reforming methane of claim 9 wherein the method is performed at a pressure of 1 to 30 bar.
