Abstract
In this study, zirconia-modified alumina support (S) was used to investigate Ga-promoted Ni catalysts for dry reforming of methane (DRM). The catalysts (Ni + (0–3) wt% Ga/S) were prepared using the wet impregnation method and calcined at 700 °C for 3 h. The inclusion of Ga enhanced the surface area, basicity, and metal-support interaction of the Ni-Ga/S catalysts. Smaller Ni particles containing Ga were seen in the TEM. The most active and stable catalyst was Ni + 2.0 Ga/S, having a conversion of 35% CO2 and 28% CH4 at 600 °C and displaying less (17%) carbon deposition. Furthermore, the DRM process was optimized by a mathematical model. The model determined the optimal conditions as follows: temperature (800 °C), gas flow rate (GHSV—30,000 ml h−1gcat−1), and methane to carbon dioxide ratio (1:1). The model predicts CH4 and CO2 conversions of 76.76% and 82.0%, respectively, and an H2/CO ratio of 1.02, compared to experimental results showing CH4 conversion at 74.56%, CO2 conversion at 83.25%, and an H2/CO ratio of 1.01. The model demonstrates excellent agreement with the experimental observations, exhibiting less than 3% error.
期刊介绍:
Catalysis Letters aim is the rapid publication of outstanding and high-impact original research articles in catalysis. The scope of the journal covers a broad range of topics in all fields of both applied and theoretical catalysis, including heterogeneous, homogeneous and biocatalysis.
The high-quality original research articles published in Catalysis Letters are subject to rigorous peer review. Accepted papers are published online first and subsequently in print issues. All contributions must include a graphical abstract. Manuscripts should be written in English and the responsibility lies with the authors to ensure that they are grammatically and linguistically correct. Authors for whom English is not the working language are encouraged to consider using a professional language-editing service before submitting their manuscripts.
