Catalytic Materials Based on Hydrotalcite-Like Aluminum, Magnesium, Nickel, and Cobalt Hydroxides for Partial Oxidation and Dry Reforming of Methane to Synthesis Gas

详细

Partial oxidation of methane and dry methane reforming to synthesis gas in the presence of catalysts based on hydrotalcite-like hydroxo salts [AlMg₂Ni_xCo_y(OH)_6.08][(NO₃)_nH₂O], where x = 0, 0.02, 0.04 and y = 0, 0.02, 0.04 with a total Ni and/or Co content of no more than 2 wt % have been first studied. It has been shown that the Ni-containing catalysts provide a synthesis gas yield of 90 and 97% in the case of partial oxidation and dry reforming of methane, respectively; in the presence of these catalysts, a trace amount of carbon nanotubes is formed; the catalyst sample containing both nickel and cobalt does not lead to the formation of any carbon nanotubes during dry reforming of methane.
