The invention discloses a catalyst for preparation of synthetic gas through catalytic
partial oxidation of
methane. According to the invention, inorganic
refractory oxide is used as a carrier, and crystalline
nickel cobalt vanadium oxide is used as an
active component; in terms of the weight of the catalyst, the
active component accounts for 1 to 50%, preferably, 10 to 30%; the
molar composition of the crystalline
nickel cobalt vanadium oxide is represented by NixCoyVzOdelta, wherein x is equal to 0 to 1.0, y is equal to 0 to 1.0, z is equal to 0.1 to 1.0, x+y is less than 0, and
delta refers to a value when O in the oxide reaches an equilibrium amount. A preparation method for the catalyst used for preparation of synthetic gas through catalytic
partial oxidation of
methane comprises the following steps: respectively dissolving nitrates of Ni and Co and an oxyacid
ammonium salt of V to prepare aqueous solutions; mixing the catalyst carrier or a carrier precursor with the aqueous solutions; adjusting a pH value to 3 to 12, preferably, 5 to 10; carrying out a
coprecipitation reaction under the condition of stirring; and carrying out
moisture removal,
drying and
roasting so as to obtain the loaded crystalline
nickel cobalt vanadium oxide catalyst. The catalyst has the advantages of good comprehensive performance, high dispersion of the
active component, high catalytic activity, excellent
carbon deposit resistance, high stability and low cost.
