Abstract
Pulse reaction showed that Co/Al2O3 catalyst was active for the high-t emperature decomposition of CH4 and CO2. CH4 mainly was completely dec omposed to give surface carbon, which could be inactivated quickly in the absence of enough O-(ad) (arising from dissociation of CO2). CO2 w as dissociatively adsorbed on Co-(0) sites to give CO(ad), and O-(ad), which was a slow step. Further decomposition of CO(ad), happened in t he case of CO2 decomposition.
