-800 ° C, while temperature-programmed desorption of CO 2 (CO 2 -TPD) showed that the catalysts have weak basic sites. In addition, the catalysts were characterized by Nitrogen physisorption, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Raman spectroscopy and basicity using a Hammett indicator. The performance of the catalysts was evaluated in the dry reforming reaction of the methane using a CH 4 : CO 2 molar feed ratio = 1.5: 1.0; In order to simulate the biogas composition. The results showed a higher conversion to CO 2 in all the catalysts investigated, which can be attributed to the higher content of CH 4 fed. In addition, it is important to restate the contribution of the basic sites present in the samples, which may also contribute to the conversion of CO2.The higher conversion of CH 4 was observed for the catalysts treated at 750 ° C. After the reactions, the formation of graphite carbon was observed on all the catalysts, with a lower percentage for Ni / ZnAl samples, calcined at 550 ° C and 650 ° C, and Ni / ZnZr-7, calcined at 750 ° C. Finally, the catalysts calcined at 650 ° C and 750 ° C were also activated at the temperature of 750 ° C. and the reaction results showed that this temperature favored the agglomeration process and, therefore, promoted low conversions for CH 4 and CO 2 .
