β¦ Synopsis
Carbon dioxide reforming of methane to synthesis gas has been investigated over supported Ni catalysts in the temperature range of 5004350Β°C. Addition of CaO ( 10 mol%) promoter to the Nil y-A1203 resulted in an increase of reaction rate and an improvement of catalyst stability, which may be related to enhanced reducibility of the promoted catalyst. The kinetic studies show that the overall reaction can be described by a Langmuir-Hinshelwood mechanistic scheme, assuming that methane dissociation is the rate determining step. In addition to adsorbed CO and formate species, three types of carbonaceous species, C,, C, and C, were found to exist on the Ni catalyst. While the active C, species is suggested to be responsible for CO formation, the less active C, and C, species are attributed to causing catalyst deactivation.

We have studied the CO2-reforming of methane at atmospheric pressure in the range temperature 550-730Β°C on Ni/ot-A1203 catalysts modified by Fe, Co, Cu and Ce, respectively. The obtained results show that the activities depend on the CO2/CH 4 ratio, the nature of the metal additives and the reaction
