CATALYTIC REACTION OF CO2 WITH CH4 OVER NICKEL-CATALYST

The reaction between CO2, and CH4, was carried out in a fixed-bed cont inuous flow reactor over Y-alumina supported nickel metal, reaction te mperature was 773 similar to 1073 degrees K and reaction pressure 0.1 similar to 0.13 MPa with different ratios of CH4/CO2. Catalysts were c haracterized by SEM, XRD, XPS and IJTA. It was found that Ni/Y-alumina had higher activity, selectivity and stability when it was made in st rong acid(pH<2) or strong base (pH>II) solution. In this reaction syng as with lower ratios of H-2/CO was produced.
