摘要: Low temperature CO2 methanation was studied on Rh/γ-Al2O3 catalysts. Catalysts were prepared with varying amounts of Rh to obtain different mean particle sizes, ranging between 3.6 and 15.4 nm. In the conditions studied, selectivity methane 100%. The intrinsic activity catalysts in hydrogenation found do not depend size at temperatures 185 200 °C, whereas lower larger particles favored higher activity. Apparent activation energies be range 14.5–22.7 kcal/mol. Lower obtained for particles. Operando-DRIFTS (Diffuse Reflectance Infrared Fourier Transform Spectroscopy) experiments showed that is readily dissociated these 50 °C giving rise carbonyl formates species. Rh–CO species are proposed associated H forming hydrides. According transient performed gas atmospheres, it adsorbed CO an important intermediate spectators reaction path. Activation energy dissociation similar overall which suggests importance bond
