Combustion Suppression in Low-Temperature Electro-Catalytic Tri-Reforming of Methane over Ni-Mg Supported Catalysts

摘要

For reduction of automobile fuel consumption, a novel method for fuel reforming uses waste heat and exhaust gas components to regenerate the exhaust loss energy. We have investigated tri-reforming of CH4 (TRM) using H2O, CO2, O2, and CH4 as model gas. TRM comprises three reactions: CH4 steam reforming (SRM), CH4 dry reforming (DRM), and CH4 combustion (MC). To be suppressed to recover the enthalpy, SRM and DRM are expected to proceed preferentially to CH4 combustion (exothermic).
