Abstract
The catalytic activities of Rh and Ni metals supported on SiO2 or La2O 3 were compared at CH4+CO2 reforming conditions and performing catalyt ic tests and thermal analyses in thermodynamic conditions favourable f or carbon deposition. The deactivation of both the metals deeply depen d on the support. An increased CO production is obtained with lanthana but the comparison between Rh and Ni on carbon deposition base sugges ts that a positive effect could be reached only at low methanation act ivity.
