CO2 REFORMING OF METHANE INTO SYNGAS OVER NANO-SIZED SOL-GEL MADE BIMETALLIC CATALYSTS

摘要

Both CO2 and CH4 are green-house gases that stimulate an nterest in the processes of their utilisation, because of converting hese gases into a valuable feedstock may significantly reduce the atmospheric emissions of CO2 and CH4. The catalytic reforming of methane with CO2, the so-called CO2 or dry reforming (eqn.1) attracts a great attention for the last decades, because it is a particularly elegant way to combine CH4 and CO2 utilization with producing synthesis gas with high CO/H2 ratio (1/1) suitable for the synthesis of higher hydrocarbons and oxygenates.
