BHA with a high thermal stability was synthesized by a coprecipitation method using aluminum nitrate, barium nitrate, and ammonium carbonate as the precursors. The Ni catalysts supported on the BHA support (Ni/BHA) were prepared by an impregnation method. X-ray diffraction, nitrogen adsorption, transmission electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, H2 temperature-programmed reduction, O2 temperature-programmed oxidation, NH3 temperature-programmed desorption, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy are used to characterize the samples. The CO methanation reaction was carried out at pressures of 0.1 and 3.0 MPa, weight hourly space velocities (WHSVs) of 30 000, 120 000, and 240 000 mL·g–1·h–1, with a H2/CO feed ratio of 3, and in the temperature range 300–600 °C. The results show that although the BHA support has a relatively low surface area, Ni/BHA catalysts displayed much higher activity than Al2O3-supported Ni catalysts (Ni/Al2O3) with a similar level of NiO loading even after high temperature hydrothermal treatment. Nearly 100% CO conversion and 90% CH4 yield were achieved over Ni/BHA (NiO, 10 wt %) at 400 °C, 3.0 MPa, and a WHSV of 30 000 mL·g–1·h–1. Long time testing indicates that, compared to Ni/Al2O3 catalyst, Ni/BHA is more stable and is highly resistant to carbon deposition. The superior catalytic performance of the Ni/BHA catalyst is probably related to the relatively larger Ni particle size (20–40 nm), the high thermal stability of BHA support with nonacidic nature, and moderate Ni–BHA interaction. The work demonstrates BHA would be a promising alternative support for the efficient Ni catalysts to SNG production.
