A reverse-loaded M-Au/MgAl2O4 (M=Ni,Co) catalyst was designed for methane dry reforming (DRM) at high pressure.The active metals Ni or Co,which are highly dispersed and immiscible on the Au surface,exhibit the performance of anti-sintering and coke-resistance.SEM/Mapping and Line-scan were applied to characterize the surface structure of fresh M-Au/MgAl2O4 and demonstrate that the active metal is highly dispersed and immiscible on Au/MgAl2O4.The designed catalyst exhibited significant operational stability (100 h) under conditions of chemical stoichiometric feed,at 850℃,and 2 MPa.XRD and TGA were conducted on spent catalysts to analyse the surface structure of Co-Au and Ni-Au.Only a small amount of combustible carbonaceous species was detected on the M-Au/MgAl2O4,with little change on active component particle size.In contrast,evident stubborn graphite and whisker carbon was identified on the spent controlled catalysts,along with increase of particle size,indicating the coke-resistance and anti-sintering of M-Au/MgAl2O4 (M=Ni,Co) with highly dispersed active metal morphologies in high-pressure methane dry reforming.
