Steam Reforming of Simulated Coke Oven Gas over Ni/Al2O3-MgO Catalysts for Syngas Production

Article Preview

Abstract:

The steam reforming of simulated coke oven gas (COG) with toluene as a model tar compound for syngas production was investigated over Ni/Al2O3-MgO catalysts. XRD results showed that the catalysts with high calcination temperature and Al2O3 content after calcination formed (Ni,Mg)Al2O4 spinel and Ni-Mg-O solid solution structure. At optimized reaction conditions, toluene and CH4 can be completely converted, while a H2 yield of 71.8% and a CO yield of 76.1% have been achieved at 800 oC. The catalysts with appropriate calcination temperature and Al2O3 content showed better catalytic activity and resistance to coking, which will be promising catalysts in the catalytic reforming of COG.
