| Abstract: | MgO-modified Ni/Al2O3 catalysts with different Ni loadings were prepared and employed in dry reforming of methane(DRM). The effect of Ni loadings on the activity and coke formation of Ni/MgO-Al2O3 catalysts were investigated. The synthesized catalysts were characterized by XRD, N2adsorption-desorption, SEM, TPO and TPR techniques. The obtained results showed that increasing nickel loading decreased the BET surface area and increased the catalytic activity and amount of deposited carbon. In addition, the effect of gas hourly space velocity(GHSV) and feed ratio were studied. |
