Optimization of Ni/Al2O3 Catalyst for Dry Methane Reforming Process in Microchannel Reactor

Inactivation of Ni catalysts in the dry reforming of methane process has been one of the issues of concern. The use of active and base phase promotors and the synthesis of Ni-CO / Al2O3-MgO catalysts by impregnation method have been considered in our research. The main focus of this study is to evaluate the effect of addition of the promotors on the performance of synthesized catalysts in wall-coated microchannel reactor. XRD, BET and FESEM analyzes have been performed to determine the characteristics of the synthesized samples. The use of amplifiers increases the catalyst activity and makes it more stable.
