Abstract:
Carbon dioxide reforming of methane (CRM) converts CH 4 and CO 2 greenhouse gases into syngas over nickel-based catalysts. We performed CRM in a tubular microreactor at 700 °C by using 5.0 wt.% NiO catalyst, supported over mixtures of γ -Al 2 O 3 + x MgO ( x = 20, 30, 63, and 70 wt.%). The process of impregnation was used to prepare the catalysts. For characterization, N 2 -physisorption, XRD, H 2 -TPR, TGA, and Raman spectroscopy techniques were employed. Among the examined catalysts, 5Ni/Al 2 O 3 + 63%MgO was found the most active, where it showed ≅ 72% CH 4 conversion, 73% CO 2 conversion, and 0.82 H 2 /CO mole ratio over 7 h of reaction. The MgO modifier was the primary component, which favorably affected both Ni dispersion and stability, for the good interaction between NiO and γ -alumina. The mono-supported samples displayed the lowest total hydrogen consumption. In TGA, the 5Ni/Al 2 O 3 + 63%MgO exhibited a significant weight decrease (40%), reflecting its activity. Furthermore, the Raman spectroscopy analysis showed that the crystallinity of the carbon over this catalyst was more pronounced than the others.
