Ni, Co, and Co–Ni bimetallic catalysts supported over SBA-15 and over SBA-15 doped with Zn or Ce oxides were prepared and tested in a methane dry reforming reaction. The loading of the metals in the catalyst was 5 wt % for either mono or bimetallic catalysts. The prepared catalysts were tested in a continuous-flow fixed-bed reactor at 800 °C under atmospheric pressure. XRD, TPR, TPD, and SEM characterization techniques were employed to investigate the catalytic properties of fresh catalysts. SEM and TGA were used to study the catalytic properties of spent catalysts. A remarkable effect on the reduction properties and catalytic performance of catalysts was observed after adding Zn and Ce. Over an 8 h test, Ni/SBA-15 showed the best activity and stability. The conversion was 90% for CH4 and CO2. Co–Ni/SBA-15 and Co–Ni/Ce–SBA-15 have shown a reasonable activity and stability. Selectivity of the Ni/SBA-15 catalyst was higher than all other catalysts as indicated by the H2/CO ratio. Co/SBA-15 and Co–Ni/Zn–SBA-15 showed a low activity and selectivity. TPD–NH3 profiles indicated that doping SBA-15 with Ce and/or Zn increased the catalyst acidic sites. Ni/SBA-15 is an excellent potential catalyst for commercial methane dry reforming processes.

The effect of CO2 partial pressure on ethanol dry reforming was evaluated over 5%Ce-10%Co/Al2O3 catalyst at = PCO2 = 20-50 kPa, PC2H5OH = 20 kPa, reaction temperature of 973 K under atmospheric pressure. The catalyst was prepared by using impregnation method and tested in a fixed-bed reactor. X-ray diffraction measurements studied the formation of Co3O4, spinel CoAl2O4 and CeO2, phases on surface of 5%Ce-10%Co/Al2O3 catalyst. CeO2, CoO and Co3O4 oxides were obtained during temperature–programmed calcination. Ce-promoted 10%Co/Al2O3 catalyst possessed high BET surface area of 137.35 m2 g-1. C2H5OH and CO2 conversions was improved with increasing CO2 partial pressure from 20-50 kPa whilst the optimal selectivity of H2 and CO was achieved at 50 kPa.

<p>Production of CO-rich hydrogen gas from methane dry reforming was investigated over CeO<sub>2</sub>-supported Co catalyst. The catalyst was synthesized by wet impregnation and subsequently characterized by field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), energy dispersion X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), liquid N<sub>2</sub> adsorption-desorption, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) for the structure, surface and thermal properties. The catalytic activity test of the Co/CeO<sub>2</sub> was investigated between 923-1023 K under reaction conditions in a stainless steel fixed bed reactor. The composition of the products (CO<sub>2</sub> and H<sub>2</sub>) from the methane dry reforming reaction was measured by gas chromatography (GC) coupled with thermal conductivity detector (TCD). The effects of feed ratios and reaction temperatures were investigated on the catalytic activity toward product selectivity, yield, and syngas ratio. Significantly, the selectivity and yield of both H<sub>2</sub> and CO increases with feed ratio and temperature. However, the catalyst shows higher activity towards CO selectivity. The highest H<sub>2</sub> and CO selectivity of 19.56% and 20.95% respectively were obtained at 1023 K while the highest yield of 41.98% and 38.05% were recorded for H<sub>2</sub> and CO under the same condition.

Co/TiO2–MgAl2O4 was investigated in a fixed bed reactor for the dry reforming of methane (DRM) process. Co/TiO2–MgAl2O4 was prepared by modified co-precipitation, followed by the hydrothermal method. The active metal Co was loaded via the wetness impregnation method. The prepared catalyst was characterized by XRD, SEM, TGA, and FTIR. The performance of Co/TiO2–MgAl2O4 for the DRM process was investigated in a reactor with a temperature of 750 °C, a feed ratio (CO2/CH4) of 1, a catalyst loading of 0.5 g, and a feed flow rate of 20 mL min−1. The effect of support interaction with metal and the composite were studied for catalytic activity, the composite showing significantly improved results. Moreover, among the tested Co loadings, 5 wt% Co over the TiO2–MgAl2O4 composite shows the best catalytic performance. The 5%Co/TiO2–MgAl2O4 improved the CH4 and CO2 conversion by up to 70% and 80%, respectively, while the selectivity of H2 and CO improved to 43% and 46.5%, respectively. The achieved H2/CO ratio of 0.9 was due to the excess amount of CO produced because of the higher conversion rate of CO2 and the surface carbon reaction with oxygen species. Furthermore, in a time on stream (TOS) test, the catalyst exhibited 75 h of stability with significant catalytic activity. Catalyst potential lies in catalyst stability and performance results, thus encouraging the further investigation and use of the catalyst for the long-run DRM process.

This study was conducted to determine the non-isothermal and isothermal reduction of chromium ores in the solid-state by reductants like solid carbon under argon and hydrogen-argon atmosphere. Two different chromite ores from local sources , sandy chromite ore from Opol, Misamis Oriental (SCO) and lumpy chromite ore from Manticao, Misamis Oriental (LCM) were used in the study. Isothermal and non-isothermal experiments were conducted in a fixed bed reactor heated in a vertical tube furnace in the temperature range 800 to 1000°C. Raw chromite and reduced samples were subjected to phase analysis and morphology characterization using X-ray flourescence (XRF), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDX). It was found that reduction does not go to completion at this temperature range. The early stage of reduction of iron was controlled by nucleation and the later by nucleation or chemical reaction or both. The activation energy at the early stage of reduction is estimated to be 44.76 kJ/mol and the later stage of reduction is 144 kJ/mol for SCO and 76.5 kJ/mol for LCM. The reduction of chromium was controlled by chemical reaction.

Abstract The dry reforming of CH4 was investigated in a catalytic fixed-bed reactor to produce hydrogen at different temperatures over supported bimetallic Ni-Co catalyst. The reactor model for the dry reforming of methane used a set of kinetic models: The Zhang et al model for the dry reforming of methane (DRM); the Richardson-Paripatyadar model for the reverse water gas shift (RWGS); and the Snoeck et al kinetics for the coke-deposition and gasification reactions. The effect of temperatures on the performance of the reactor was studied. The amount of each species consumed or/and produced were calculated and compared with the experimental determined ones. It was showed that the set of kinetic model used in this work gave a good fit and accurately predict the experimental observed profiles from the fixed bed reactor. It was found that reaction-4 and reaction-5 could be neglected which could explain the fact that this catalyst coked rapidly comparatively with other catalyst. The use of large amount of Ni-Co will lead to carbon deposition and so to the catalyst deactivation.
