Catalytic reforming of methane into synthesis-gas

Abstract Using θ-Al2O3 as a carrier and Ni and Co as active materials, a series of catalysts were prepared by traditional method of air impregnation on moisture capacity. Test the catalyst with XRD and other characterization methods. The performance of the methane dry reforming reaction was investigated on a fixed reactor. The optimal process conditions were: T = 700 and 900 °C, GHSV = 6000 h−1 and CH4: CO2: Ar = 1: 1: 1, 5%Ni-5%Co/θ-Al2O3 has the best activity and the smallest particle size.
