Selective Hydrogenation of Carbon Oxides in the Presence of a Nickel-Containing Catalyst on a Secondary Biomass Substrate

A sample of a catalytic system based on nickel and a carbon-containing material, microcellulose, was obtained using a hydrothermal synthesis method. A catalytic study of the synthesized system in the process of selective hydrogenation of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide was carried out with calculation of the apparent activation energy. The sample was demonstrated to be highly active in the selective hydrogenation reactions of carbon oxides. A 100% conversion of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide and selectivity for methane of 90 and 80%, respectively, were obtained.
