Nickel Alumina (Ni/Al₂O₃)Catalyst

Nickel Alumina (Ni/Al₂O₃)Catalyst

Ni/Al₂O₃ Catalyst: An alumina-supported nickel-based catalyst for industrial reactions including hydrogenation, steam reforming, methanation, and syngas purification. Available in spherical, extrudate, and powder forms, with customizable NiO content.

 

Technical Indicators

Active component

Nio

Support

γ-Al₂O₃

NiO content

Customizable (typical range 10-35 wt%)

Shape

3-6 mm (spherical) / 3×6mm (extrudate)

Operating Temperature

200-500°C

Size

0.5-1/1-2/2-4/3-5/6-8mm

Typical applications Hydrogenation, steam reforming, methanation, deoxygenation, desulfurization, ammonia decomposition, Fischer-Tropsch synthesis

Advantages

  • High activity from high nickel loading — In methanation, higher NiO content supports higher CO/CO₂ conversion at lower temperatures, suitable for high space velocity conditions.

  • Thermal stability from the alumina support — The support structure remains stable at 500-550°C, suitable for steam reforming and high-temperature methanation under thermal cycling conditions.

  • Cost advantage — Compared with precious metal catalysts, nickel-based systems offer a significant cost-per-unit-throughput advantage in industrial-scale applications.

Application&Solutions

1.Used in the hydrogenation of unsaturated hydrocarbons, such as alkenes and alkynes, to produce saturated hydrocarbons.

 2.Employed in the dehydrogenation of alkanes to produce alkenes, which are important intermediates in the chemical industry.

3.Utilized in steam reforming of natural gas to produce hydrogen and carbon monoxide, which are key components in syngas production.

4.Applied in the methanation process to convert carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide into methane, which is useful in gas purification.

5.Used in the hydrotreating of petroleum fractions to remove impurities such as sulfur, nitrogen, and oxygen compounds.
