THE CATALYTIC PERFORMANCE OF NI-CO/SBA- 15-CD IN CARBON DIOXIDE REFORMING OF METHANE AT HIGH PRESSURE

摘要

The greenhouse effect has given rise to climate change and serious consequences. However, carbon dioxide and methane, two major greenhouse gases, can be converted into synthesis gas by carbon dioxide reforming of methane (CRM). Furthermore, this reaction produces synthesis gas with H2/CO close to unity, which is a suitable feedstock for the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis of liquid hydrocarbons. Generally, methane is stored and transported under high pressure, and customers need H2 at >1.0 MPa and compression of large volumes of product gas is not acceptable. It would be highly desirable from an economical point of view that the CH4/CO2 reaction should be carried out under high pressure. However, only a few reports appeared in the literature studied the reaction under high pressures (2.0 MPa or higher).
