The kinetics of CO methanation in excess H 2 on CaO and CeO 2 doped nickel catalysts sup ported on Al 2 O 3 and TiO 2 was studied at atmospheric pressure in a temperature range of 180-240°C. It was found that the same rational fractional rate equation corresponding to the reaction taking place at high sur face coverages, is valid for all of the catalysts. The activity of nickel catalysts in the methanation reaction and their adsorption capacity with respect to reaction mixture components depend on the nature of the support and dopants.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
