The invention relates to a
nickel-based
methanation catalyst dispersive in SBA-15 ducts and preparation and application thereof; the
nickel-based
methanation catalyst comprises, by 100 parts by weight, 5-20 parts of
metallic nickel, 10-40 parts of an additive, and the balance of mesoporous
molecular sieve SBA-15. The preparation comprises: preparing
nickel salt solution, and adding an additive; in the
nickel salt solution, soaking the SBA-15 in mixed liquid prepared in step A at
room temperature, and calcining in vacuum after soaking to obtain the nickel-based
methanation catalyst. By adding the additive and using the mesoporous
molecular sieve SBA-15 with stable chemical properties, good
thermal conductivity and large specific surface area as a support, the nickel-based
metal catalyst with the
active component dispersive in support ducts is prepared; the catalyst has the advantages of high catalytic activity, good
methane selectivity, good thermal selectivity, long catalyst life and the like. Under optimal conditions, the catalyst may reach 100% in CO conversion rate, 99.9% in
methane selectivity and 99.9% in
methane yield, and has a promising industrial prospect.
