Abstract

:
Combustion-assisted flame spraying (“CAFSY”) has been used to produce catalytically active nickel aluminide coatings on ceramic substrates. Their catalytic activity was studied in CO2 (dry) reforming of methane, which is particularly significant for environmental protection as well as production of synthesis gas (CO + H2). By varying the CAFSY processing parameters, it is possible to obtain a range of Ni–Al alloys with various ratios of catalytically active phases on the substrate. The influence of the number of coating layers and the type of substrate on the final catalyst composition and on the catalytic activity of the CAFSY coatings was studied and is presented here. The morphology and microstructure of the composite coatings were determined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) elemental analysis, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) specific area analysis. Catalytic tests for dry reforming of methane were carried out using crushed pellets from the coatings at temperatures of 750–900 °C, and gas chromatography showed that methane conversion approached 88% whereas that of carbon dioxide reached 100%. The H2/CO ratio in the synthesis gas produced by the reaction varied from about 0.7 to over 1.2, depending on the catalyst and substrate type and testing temperature.

1. Introduction

Combustion-assisted flame spraying (“CAFSY”) combines conventional flame spraying and powder combustion synthesis into a single step [1,2]. Parameters including the temperature of the flame, the temperature of the substrate, the powder ratio and any pre-treatment of the metal powders, the gas speed and feed rate, and size and condition of starting powders can all be optimized for any particular coating needed. This new method offers a number of advantages over spraying of ready alloyed powders to produce protective coatings on substrates, the main ones being cost and versatility.
Ni–Al alloys, made by slow diffusion or by SHS (self-propagating high-temperature synthesis), have been found to display good catalytic properties for a number of chemical reactions. There are many reports on the use of bulk SHS catalysts’ activity in different processes [3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12]. Because of the high synthesis temperatures and fast cooling rates achieved, combustion synthesis (CS) and especially SHS produce materials that are characterised by heavily distorted atomic structures, with a very large proportion of catalytically active centres. Many CS catalysts display very enhanced activity compared to the same materials produced by other means, even if they have much lower specific surface area [13]. In this work, we report on the use of the CAFSY method for the production of catalytically active Ni–Al alloys sprayed on various substrates for dry (CO2) reforming of methane. This process is environmentally important, because the mitigation and utilization of greenhouse gases, CO2 and CH4, are among the most significant global challenges. Dry reforming of methane has therefore received much attention from both an environmental and an industrial perspective, as the reaction can convert these greenhouse gases into industrially valuable synthesis gas with a wide range of H2/CO ratios.
In a recent report [2], SHS catalysts based on Co–Al–O were shown to exhibit very high catalytic activity for dry reforming of methane with minimal coke production. At a temperature of 900 °C and atmospheric pressure, CH4 conversion was 100%, CO2 conversion was about 83%, and the H2/CO ratio in the product was about 1.2. Furthermore, at 800 °C, the CH4 conversion was also 100% but the H2/CO ratio reached close to 2. Such highly promising results, in conjunction with extremely low coke deposition and a high performance maintained over many hours [14], indicates that the SHS method offers significant benefits.
During the past decades, Ni-based catalysts for dry reforming of methane have been extensively studied [15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23]. Previously, we reported [24] that Ni-based catalysts exhibit very high catalytic activity for dry reforming of methane with minimal coke production.

The CAFSY Method for Spraying Catalytically Active Coatings

Reactive processing of intermetallic materials has been reported in the past [25]. Reaction synthesis (RS) and SHS have been applied for low-energy formation of various binary alloys using a variety of configurations [26,27,28]. In these studies, the exothermic chemical energy from the reaction between elemental powders is used to synthesise the alloys, thereby reducing the amount of external heating required. CAFSY is attractive for production catalysts because (1) it is a simple operation (requiring minimal operator training and can be used with hand-held sprayers); (2) it gives high spray rates and deposit efficiencies; (3) it works also with low-cost base metal powders of sizes ranging from 5 to 300 μm; (4) it is possible to change, at any time, the composition of the initial charge, and by adjusting the flame spray conditions, different properties of the coating can be achieved; and, finally; (5) different intermetallic phases can be deposited in one step.
Our previous work [1,2] showed that the Ni–Al composite coatings applied by CAFSY were principally composed of three different intermetallic phases (i.e., NiAl, Ni2Al3, NiAl3) with small splats of Al2O3 and NiAl2O4 phases as well as traces of unreacted nickel and aluminium. In a recent paper [29], we confirmed the catalytic properties of those CAFSY coatings, and the objective of the present paper is to elaborate further on the catalytic properties of Ni–Al coated by CAFSY on spinel and refractory substrates for dry reforming of methane.

2. Materials and Methods

2.1. Materials

The Ni and Al powders were obtained from Sulzer Metco 56C-NS (spheroidal/precipitated powder, particle size 45–75 μm), and Aluminium Powder Company Ltd (gas fragmentation, 100/D-10, particle size 45–90 μm), respectively. Substrates used for CAFSY were made of highly macroporous MgAl2O4 spinel (with some MgO, coded Sp-NiXX-Y, where XX is the amount of nickel in the initial powder mixture and Y is the number of gun passes, i.e., coating layers) prepared by SHS from an initial mixture of Al + Mg + Mg(NO3)2 + Al2O3. Square plates of dimensions 5 cm × 5 cm × 0.8 cm were produced using uniaxial compaction under a pressure of 10 MPa and SHS-fired at a preheating temperature of 900 °C in air. For comparison, substrates made from a porous Si–Al–O refractory brick (BNZ Materials Inc., Littleton, CO, USA, coded RB-NiXX-Y, dimensions 5 cm × 5 cm× 0.8 cm) and from a woven glass-fibre refractory mat (BNZ Materials Inc., Littleton, CO, USA, coded RM-NiXX-Y, dimensions 5 cm × 5 cm × 0.3 cm) were also used. The porosity of all the above substrates was about 50%–70%, which enabled crushing (after coating) to small pieces, which were used for the catalytic tests.

2.2. CAFSY Process

As discussed previously [2,30], CAFSY is based on the exothermic reactions between powders during thermal spraying, as shown schematically in Figure 1. The CAFSY parameters used in this work were described previously [2] and are as follows: ratio of oxygen to acetylene = 1.56 (acetylene pressure: 32 psi, oxygen: 50 psi), mechanical ball milling of initial mixture (Ni + Al) for 10 min, thermal spray distance of 4 cm, substrate temperature of 600 °C, and powder feeding rate of 25 g/min.
Flame spraying was carried out by a Sulzer’s Metco Thermospray Gun (5P-II) (Oerlikon Metco, Winterthur, Switzerland). During spraying, the Ni + Al powder mixtures are ignited by the combustion flame and react to produce nickel aluminide compounds, initially in the flame, which are then deposited on the surface and inside the pores of the substrate where the reactions are completed when the substrate temperature is suitable. The CAFSY process has been reported in detail previously [30], where it was shown conclusively that combustion synthesis occurs both in-flight as well as on the substrate. To help with the initiation of the combustion reactions in the flame, the Ni and Al particles are partially agglomerated after 10 min of mechanical treatment. The number of gun passes over the substrate corresponds to the number of coating layers produced on the substrate, which was also found to correlate with the concentration of the catalytic phases in the coatings on the substrate (Table 1). In this work, the following amounts of nickel were used in the Ni + Al mixtures: 42.1%, 59.3%, 65.1%, and 86.8% by weight, the remainder being aluminium (Table 1). The influence of the number of coating layers on the catalyst composition and the influence of the type of substrate on the catalytic activity of the CAFSY coatings are represented below.

2.3. Catalyst Characterisation

The morphology and microstructure of the composite coatings obtained were examined by scanning electron spectroscopy (SEM) with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) elemental analysis and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The development of the various intermetallic phases was monitored by calculating the peak ratio of intensities of particular XRD peaks. The peaks we used were as follows. For aluminium metal, hkl: 111; for NiAl, hkl: 220; for Ni3Al, hkl: 311; for NiAl3, hkl: 112; Ni2Al3, hkl: 110. The peaks used were selected so that they were not clashing with any other peaks in the XRD spectra.

2.4. Conditions for Catalytic Dry Reforming of Methane

The catalytic activity of the synthesised catalysts was determined for dry (CO2) reforming of methane using coarsely crushed coated substrates with an average pellet size of 3 mm, guided by usual characteristics for industrial catalysts. The tests were carried out in a fixed-bed free-flow quartz reactor without any pre-reduction. All of the tests were conducted at atmospheric pressure in a flow of a gas, which was a mixture of CO2–CH4–N2 (ratio 1:1:1), at a flow rate of 30 mL/min. The total flow rate of reactants was set at 860 h−1 and the catalytic reaction was carried out at 750, 800, 850, and 900 °C. The products were analysed in a gas chromatograph using a 10 m steel column filled with polymer Highset-d. The outlet gases (O2, N2, CO, CO2, CH4) were separated at 40 °C by using a thermal conductivity detector and He as carrier gas.

3. Results andDiscussion

3.1. Catalyst Characterisation

The phase composition of the coated catalysts produced by CAFSY on MgAl2O4 substrates was determined by XRD analysis, and the results are shown in Figure 2 and Table 2.
In all samples, some unreacted Ni and Al (except Sp-Ni87-2) are present. This is due to the very limited contact time between particles of Al and Ni during flame spraying (of the order of a few milliseconds). Traces of NiO in all catalysts can be explained by partial oxidation of Ni. There are also traces of NiAl2O4 in all samples. Main products of nickel aluminides correspond to all stoichiometric compositions of Ni: 42.1 wt.% (NiAl3), 59.3 wt.% (Ni2Al3), 65.1 wt.% (NiAl), and 86.8 wt.% (Ni3Al). Also, in the case of 42.1% Ni in the starting powder mixture, an increased presence of Ni2Al3 in the coating was observed. At Sp-Ni87-2, the presence of Ni2Al3, NiAl, and Ni3Al in products denotes the enrichment of the NiAl phase with Ni up to Ni3Al. In the case of Sp-Ni65-2, only the NiAl phase is evident. This result supports the premise that NiAl3, Ni2Al3, and Ni3Al formed from enrichment of the NiAl phase. Figure 2 shows that the maximum content of NiAl and Ni2Al3 phases corresponds to their stoichiometric ratio, respectively (the development of the various phases calculated the peak ratio of intensities of the particular XRD peaks: NiAl, hkl: 220, Ni2Al3, hkl: 110).
Figure 3 shows the influence of Ni concentration in the powder mixture on the parameters of the crystal lattice of NiAl and Ni2Al3. The increase of Ni in the powder spraying mixture enriches constantly the NiAl and Ni2Al3 phases (up to 65.1% Ni for NiAl and 59.3% Ni for Ni2Al3 phase). Increasing the amount of Ni (Figure 3b) increases also the size of the crystal lattice spacing from 3.46 to 3.49 Å and from 3.44 to 3.53 Å for NiAl and Ni2Al3 phases, respectively. This probably occurs because the Ni2+ ionic radius is 0.69 Å and that of Al3+ is 0.51 Å.
The formation of catalytically active coatings (Figure 2 and Table 2) can be explained by combustion synthesis reactions during CAFSY by the following reactions [31]:
Al + Ni → NiAl
3Al + Ni → NiAl3
Al + 3Ni → Ni3Al
2Ni + 3Al → Ni2Al3
2Ni + O2 → 2NiO
4Al + 3O2 → 2Al2O3
Al2O3 + NiO → NiAl2O4
NiAl + nNi → NixAly
Nickel aluminides can be formed by the reaction of base metal powders (Ni + Al) followed by enrichment of the NiAl phase either during the flight or at the substrate: NiAl + nNi → NixAl. As the aluminium melts in the flame (melting point 660 °C) it reacts with the heated nickel (melting point 1440 °C) and NiAl (melting point 1911 °C) forms exothermically. The heated aluminium and nickel further reacts with NiAl, forming NiAl3 and Ni3Al, respectively. The simultaneous presence of oxides NiO and Al2O3, which form by partial oxidation of the base metals in the combustion flame, are also able to react, forming NiAl2O4.
The specific surface area of such catalysts is low—about 0.1–0.35 m2/g (measured by the BET method (Gold APP Instrument Corporation, Beijing, China) on the coatings)—since the spinel substrates used were also made by SHS, which also have low specific surface area due to the large pores present in such substrates, caused by the melting of the coatings during spraying as evidenced by SEM examinations. A coating made by CAFSY from a powder mixture of 59.3%Ni + 40.7%Al on MgAl2O4 spinel studied by SEM/EDS is shown in Figure 4. The EDX spectra are in agreement with the XRD results shown in Figure 2.
Increasing the number of gun passes (i.e., layers formed) during thermal spraying (compare SEM photo in Figure 4 (two passes) with SEM photo in Figure 5a (eight passes) increases the coating thickness by approximately 40 μm/pass and also heats up the coating, giving additional time to complete the reactions between NiAl alloys and Al, which gives rise to the NiAl3 phase. A large number of gun passes also results in increased oxidation of nickel and aluminium, producing NiO and Al2O3, which react together to form spinel via the reaction NiO+Al2O3→NiAl2O4. In the case of coatings on a Si–Al–O refractory brick (Figure 5b), all four main nickel aluminide phases are present. On the other hand, coatings on MgAl2O4 spinel substrate (Figure 4) show only NiAl and Ni2Al3 phases.
The surface of the coating RB-Ni-65-1 (Figure 6a) shows the presence of the intermetallic phases NiAl and Ni3Al and some traces of NiO. In addition, there are unreacted phases Ni and Al. Cross-section of the same coating (Figure 6b) shows the formation of intermetallic phases NiAl, Ni3Al, and NiAl3 and also some traces of NiO. Combining SEM/EDX analysis with the XRD results of the coatings indicates that the light-grey areas in the SEM micrographs are probably Ni-rich, the dark-grey areas are probably Al-rich, while the intermediate-grey areas are probably the intermetallic phases NiAl3, NiAl, and Ni3Al. The grey-white areas are probably oxides Al2O3 and NiO. The NiAl2O4 spinel phase indicated by XRD could not be found on any surface examined by SEM/EDX.
During CAFSY, the yield of nickel aluminides increases with increasing Ni concentration in the powder mixture. This is because increasing the amount of nickel in the powder mixture increases the temperature of the flame due to the exothermic combustion reaction between nickel and aluminium. This increases the reactivity of the powders in the flame, which increases the net yield of alloys.
The total porosity of the coatings also increases with increasing amount of nickel, because particles melt completely in the flame and tend to splash on the target surface. It is well known that fully molten particles often splash and scatter backwards instead of adhering to the surface, creating a rough surface with increased porosity (e.g., [32]). This also explains the fact that at higher concentration of nickel in the mixture, all of the aluminium has reacted with NiAl. Ni3Al and NiAl3have low adiabatic temperatures and need high preheating temperatures of substrate [2] to react well. Melted aluminium reacts with NiAl on the substrate surface, with the subsequent appearance of NiAl3 (Figure 6b). Increasing the substrate temperature increases NiAl3 and Ni3Al phases and decreases porosity [2].

3.2. Catalytic Activity for Dry Reforming of Methane

Influence of Substrate Composition

As mentioned, three different substrates were used for thermal spraying of the nickel and aluminium mixtures by CAFSY. All the specimens listed in Table 1 were examined for catalytic activity at 900 °C for dry reforming of methane. The results of the most promising combinations are shown in Figure 7 compared with the catalytic activity of the three substrates alone.
Figure 7 shows that the substrate materials used also display catalytic activity for dry reforming of methane (comparison with data received for substrates without catalytic coatings). The conversion of methane measured on a catalyst containing 4 wt.% nickel aluminide coating on a standard spinel substrate (Sp-Ni65-1) is higher than that for the same coating on the refractory mats (RM-Ni65-1) and the refractory bricks (RB-Ni-65-1) substrates. On the other hand, carbon dioxide conversion was higher on RM-Ni-65-1 and RB-Ni-65-1 coatings than on the RB-Ni-65-1 coatings, where an increase of total content of nickel aluminides (from 4% (Sp-Ni65-1) to 70% (Sp-Ni65-8)) on the substrate leads to an increase of carbon dioxide conversion by 10%.
More detailed information about the influence of the number of layers (gun passes) on the conversion of methane and carbon dioxide and on the ratio H2/CO in the outlet gases is presented in Figure 8.
Figure 8a shows that increasing the number of catalytic layers from 2 to 8 does not change methane conversion significantly (only by about 3%) but does increase CO2 conversion by up to 13%. This means that a catalytic coating with just 4% nickel aluminide (specimen Sp-Ni65-1) content (this concentration is very often used in industrial catalysis) is very active for carbon dioxide dry reforming of methane.
Ratio of H2 to CO in the outlet gas produced by the catalytic reaction depends on the number of coatings as well as the reaction temperature. At high temperatures (Figure 8b, 850 °C) all catalysts produce gases with a ratio of 0.92–0.94, which is suitable for industrial synthesis of alcohols, aldehydes, olefins, acetic acid, and so on. At lower temperatures, 750–800 °C, the number of catalytic layers plays a more significant role regarding the efficiency of the catalysts. It is worth noting that at 900 °C, the activity of the 70% coated catalyst (Sp-Ni65-8) decreases because of coke formation. This could be connected to the increase of contact time on the surface, which increases the concentration of active centres and desorption becomes the limiting factor of catalysis.
The amount of nickel in the initial powder mixture also plays a significant role in the catalyst activity (Figure 9). Significant changes in catalytic activity occur at 42.1%–59.3% Ni (specimens Sp-Ni42-2 and Sp-Ni59-2), where the main phases in the catalytic coating are: NiAl, Ni2Al3, Ni3Al.
Reaction temperature, type of substrate, and the amount of nickel aluminides in the coatings affect the H2/CO ratio (Figure 10). Such influences could be connected with structural changes during coating.

5. Conclusions

The work presented here demonstrated that the CAFSY coating method is able to rapidly produce low-cost nickel aluminide coatings on substrates with good catalytic properties. Studies of the catalytic activity of such CAFSY nickel aluminide coatings for dry reforming of methane shows that very high conversion rates are possible. By varying the processing parameters, it is possible to obtain a range of materials with varying ratios of the three main catalytic phases (NiAl, Ni3Al, and Ni2Al3) on the substrates, with a wide range of catalytic properties. The coating substrates (which serve as carriers for the catalysts) influence the catalytic activity of the nickel aluminide coatings. Such CAFSY coatings can therefore be recommended as a low-cost and convenient method of catalyst production for industrial applications, especially in areas where conversion of flowing gases is required, such as flue outlets.
