Nickel on Silica-alumina Catalyst FAQs
Q1: What are the common applications of Nickel on Silica-Alumina Catalyst?
Hydrocracking: In petroleum refining, it is used to break down heavy hydrocarbons into lighter, more valuable products like gasoline and diesel.
Hydrogenation: Employed in the hydrogenation of organic compounds, such as converting alkenes to alkanes.
Steam Reforming: Used in the production of hydrogen and synthesis gas (syngas) by reforming hydrocarbons.
Ammonia Synthesis: Acts as a catalyst in the synthesis of ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen.
Q2: How does Nickel on Silica-Alumina Catalyst work?
The catalyst facilitates chemical reactions by providing a surface on which reactants can adsorb and interact more efficiently. Nickel serves as the active site for reactions such as hydrogenation, while the silica-alumina support enhances the distribution of nickel and provides stability and additional acid sites for reactions involving hydrocarbons.
Q3: How is Nickel on Silica-Alumina Catalyst prepared?
The catalyst is typically prepared by impregnating the silica-alumina support with a nickel precursor (such as nickel nitrate), followed by calcination (heating) and reduction to convert the nickel precursor into metallic nickel particles dispersed on the support.
