Transformation of Methane into Synthesis Gas Using the Redox Property of Pr-Zr Mixed Oxides: Effect of Calcination Temperature

Article Preview

Abstract:

Pr-Zr mixed oxides prepared by co-precipitation were used as oxygen carriers for converting methane into synthesis gas through gas-solid reactions. The structural evolution and reducibility of Pr-Zr oxygen carriers with calcination temperatures from 600 to 1200°C were investigated by XRD and TPR techniques and correlated to their activity for methane selective oxidation. The Pr-Zr mixed oxides calcined at 600-800°C show outstanding thermostability, and higher calcination temperatures result in phase segregation. Pr0.7Zr0.3O2-δ possesses high temperature stability(<900 °C) and the best appropriate calcination temperature is 800°C for methane gas-solid reaction.
