Suppression strategies of carbon deposit and optimization of reaction conditions for dry reforming of methane based on thermodynamic analysis
Dry reforming of methane (DRM) can convert greenhouse gases CH
4
and CO
2
into high-value syngas
with dual benefits of environmental mitigation and energy upgrading. However
this reaction usually needs to be carried out above 700 ℃
leading to high energy consumption and catalyst deactivation due to metal sintering and carbo
n deposit. The equilibrium compositions in the DRM system were systematically evaluated based on thermodynamic analysis
and the effects of reaction temperatures
inert gas contents
reaction pressures and feed ratios of raw gas (
n
(CH
4
):
n
(CO
2
)) on the catalytic performances and carbon deposit behaviors of catalysts were discussed. The deviations between actual reaction results reported in the literature and the theoretical equilibrium predictions were also thoroughly analyzed. The results show that reducing
n
(CH
4
):
n
(CO
2
) to 1:2 can lower the complete conversion temperature by 200 ℃ and effectively suppress carbon deposit formation at above 700 °C. In addition
changing the inert gas dilution ratio
n
(CH
4
):
n
(CO
2
):
n
(inert gas) to 1:1:2 can remarkably suppress carbon deposit from 500 ℃ to 800 ℃. However
high-pressure operations suitable for the industrial applications are not conducive to raw material conversion and can promote carbon deposit. It is more reasonable to evaluate the actual reaction results in the low-temperature zone (
<
600 ℃) and high-temperature zone (
>
800 ℃) using the no carbon deposit formation model
while the actual reaction results from 600 ℃ to 800 ℃ need to be evaluated in conjunction with the carbon deposit equilibrium model. This research clearly defines the operational boundaries and suppression strategies of carbon deposit for DRM based on thermodynamic analysis
in order to provide an essential theoretical basis for catalyst design and catalytic performance evaluation and optimization.
