Novel nickel promoted illite clay based catalyst for autothermal dry reforming of methane

摘要

A series of Ni-Ce catalysts supported on illite clay containing different cerium loading were tested with respect to autothermal reforming of methane at 800 degrees C using a GHSV = 60,000 mL g(-1) h(-1). The addition of oxygen in the gaseous reactant feed, under the used experimental condition was found to play a key role since the carbon balance is significantly higher as compared to CH4/CO2 mixture.
