Promoting Effect of CeO2 Addition on Activity and Catalytic Stability in Steam Reforming of Methane over Ni/Al2O3

Article Preview

Abstract:

Hydrogen production by steam reforming of methane was studied over Ni catalysts supported on CeO2, Al2O3 and CeO2-Al2O3. These catalysts were prepared using the impregnation method and characterized by XRD. The effect of CeO2 promoter on the catalytic performance of Ni/Al2O3 catalyst for methane steam reforming reaction was investigated. In fact, CeO2 had a positive effect on the catalytic activity in this reaction. Experimental results demonstrated that Ni/CeO2-Al2O3 catalyst showed excellent catalytic activity and high reaction performance. In addition, the effects of reaction temperature and metal content on the conversion of CH4 and H2/CO ratio were also investigated. Results indicated that CH4 conversion increased significantly with the increase of the reaction temperature and metal content.
