The Effect of CeO₂ and Fe₂O₃ Dopants on Ni/ Alumina Based Catalyst for Dry Reforming of Methane to Hydrogen

Abstract:

Methane reforming is the most feasible techniques to produce hydrogen for commercial usage. Hence, dry reforming is the environment friendly method that uses green house gases such as CO₂ and methane to produce fuel gas. Catalysts play a vital role in methane conversion by enhancing the reforming process. In this study Ni/γ-Al₂O₃ was selected as based catalyst and CeO₂ and Fe₂O₃ dopants were added to investigate their effect on catalytic activity in dry reforming. The catalysts synthesized through wet impregnation method and characterized by using XRD, TEM and SEM-EDX. The catalytic tests were carried out using temperature programmed reaction (TPRn) and the products were detected by using an online mass spectrometer. The results revealed that these dopants significantly affect the catalytic activity and selectivity of the catalyst during reaction. Hence, Fe₂O₃doped catalyst shows higher hydrogen production with stable catalytic activity.
