| Abstract | The reaction kinetics of the three-phase CO2 methanation for a commercial Ni/SiO2 catalyst suspended in a liquid phase is studied in a continuous stirred-tank slurry reactor at a CO2 partial pressure of 1 bar and temperatures from 220 degrees C to 320 degrees C. By applying different liquids, namely squalane, octadecane, and dibenzyltoluene, showing different gas solubilities, it is found that the gas concentration in the liquid phase and not the partial pressure in the gas phase is the driving force for the CO2 methanation reaction kinetics. The liquid phase does not influence the reaction kinetics but reduces the available gas concentrations and H-2/CO2 ratio on the catalyst surface. Based on these findings, a kinetic rate equation for the three-phase CO2 methanation is developed additionally incorporating the chemical equilibrium limitations relevant in the temperature regime. |
