Abstract

Enhanced activity of Ni wire in CO hydrogenation has been observed when the metal surface is incompletely reduced. The catalytic behavior has been studied in a flow reactor for different H2/CO ratios, and the carbon species accumulated on the metal surface during reaction have been analyzed by Tempera-ture-Progranimed-Surface-Reaction(TPSR). It has been concluded that the surface or sub-surface oxygen remaining on the catalyst due to incomplete reduction plays an important role m determining the metal catalyst behavior. The extent of metal reduction in addition to the metal surface area has to be considered in estimation of the intrinsic activity of Ni catalysts.
