Abstract:The CO2−CH4 reaction on Rh/Al2O3 was studied by in situ infrared spectroscopy coupled with pulse and
step transient techniques. Steady-state isotopic 13CO transient studies at 773 K and 0.1 MPa show that the
formation of gaseous 13CO2 closely follows that of linear 13CO, indicating that linear CO is an active adsorbate.
Pulsing CH4 into CO2 flow and step switching from He to CO2/CH4 flow showed that the formation of H2 led
that of CO, revealing that the first step of the reaction sequence is the decomposition … Show more

Stevens et al [29] verified the existence of CHO species (2038-2019 cm )1 band) on Rh/Al 2 O 3 catalyst by means of in situ IR spectroscopy technique. They considered that CH 4 reacted with adoxygen to form the ad-CH x O species, and then CH x O on the active sites further decomposed into adsorbed OH and CH x species.…”

Reverse water-gas shift (RWGS) reaction over La 2 NiO 4 catalyst was investigated during CH 4 /CO 2 reforming by continuous wave cavity enhanced absorption spectroscopy, a sensitive absorption technique. The results indicated that the RWGS reaction promoted the conversion of CO 2 and decreased the partial pressure of hydrogen. By proper adjustment of the pressure of the reaction system, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of RWGS reaction and increase the selectivity of CH 4 /CO 2 reforming. The intermediates of CH 4 /CO 2 reforming such as CHO, OH and CH 3 were observed by means of the liquid-N 2 quenching technique, and a reaction step: CH x +[O]=CH x O was primarily confirmed. In addition, XPS and XRD results verified that nickel over catalyst after CH 4 /CO 2 reforming existed in elemental state. The HRTEM images of used catalyst indicated that the deactivation of catalyst was originated mainly from the formation of nanotubes and graphite carbon on active sites of nickel.

“…The operando DRIFTS-SSITKA method used in the present study uses a single catalytic bed, which allows DRIFTS characterization of the surface of the very same catalyst that is responsible for the catalytic activity measured at the cell exit by gas chromatography or mass spectrometry [8]. This methodology is a powerful tool for an in-depth investigation of catalysts under reaction conditions, similar to the method developed earlier for transmission FTIR by Chuang et al [31,32].…”

AbstractThe reactivity of the species formed at the surface of a Au/Ce(La)O 2 catalyst during the water-gas shift (WGS) reaction were investigated by operando diffuse reflectance Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) at the chemical steady state during isotopic transient kinetic analyses (SSITKA). The exchanges of the reaction product CO 2 and of formate and carbonate surface species were followed during an isotopic exchange of the reactant CO using a DRIFTS cell as a single reactor. The DRIFTS cell was a modified commercial cell that yielded identical reaction rates to that measured over a quartz plug-flow reactor. The DRIFTS signal was used to quantify the relative concentrations of the surface species and CO 2 . The analysis of the formate exchange curves between 428 and 493 K showed that at least two levels of reactivity were present. "Slow formates" displayed an exchange rate constant 10-to 20-fold slower than that of the reaction product CO 2 . "Fast formates" were exchanged on a time scale similar to that of CO 2 . Multiple nonreactive readsorption of CO 2 took place, accounting for the kinetics of the exchange of CO 2 (g) and making it impossible to determine the number of active sites through the SSITKA technique. The concentration (in mol g −1 ) of formates on the catalyst was determined through a calibration curve and allowed calculation of the specific rate of formate decomposition. The rate of CO 2 formation was more than an order of magnitude higher than the rate of decomposition of formates (slow + fast species), indicating that all of the formates detected by DRIFTS could not be the main reaction intermediates in the production of CO 2 . This work stresses the importance of full quantitative analyses (measuring both rate constants and adsorbate concentrations) when investigating the role of adsorbates as potential reaction intermediates, and illustrates how even reactive species seen by DRIFTS may be unimportant in the overall reaction scheme.
