Abstract: Using MgO, Al2O3 and ZrO powder as carriers, nickel as active component and cobalt and lanthanum as auxiliary agents, ultra-high temperature ammonia decomposition catalysts were prepared. The structure of which was characterized by XRD, BET, TPR and TEM.To investigate the influence of different metal elements on the structure and performance of catalyst, catalyst evaluation device was used. XRD results show that NiAl2O4 spinel phase exists in all the catalysts; metal elements can promote the crystalline form of NiAl2O4 spinel; compared with Co and Zr, La contributes more to the crystalline form. TPR results show that more crystalline phase of NiAl2O4could be formedafter adding of La, and a stronger interaction with carrier is formed after adding Co. BET and TEM experiment show that La is helpful to improve the dispersion and concentration of Ni species on the catalyst surface, and to form smaller surface nickel particles, so as to improve the active site distribution of nickel. Compared with Ni/Mg-Al and CoNi/ZrMg-Al catalysts, LaNi/ZrMg-Al catalyst shows better high temperature wear resistance, sintering resistance and thermal stability under experimental condition of reaction temperature 1200 ℃, volume space velocity 1228 h-1.

Key words: metallic element, extraordinarily high temperature, ammonia decomposition, Ni/Mg-Al catalyst
