Effect of Support on the Suppression of Hot Spot Formation in the Partial Oxidation of Methane
Ni-based catalysts supported on perovskite oxides and α-Al 2 O 3 were prepared to investigate catalytic performance and catalyst bed temperature profile in the partial oxidation of methane. Ni/LaAlO 3 showed high activity and remarkably suppressed hot spot formation in the catalyst bed even at high space velocity. The effect of support is discussed on the basis of the state of Ni.
