Effect of pore geometry of mesoporous supports on catalytic performances in methane reforming

Abstract

Abstract-Catalysts prepared using three dimensional SBA-16 silica support (composed of micropores and cage-like mesopores) were tested in the reaction of methane dry reforming, in comparison with 2D hexagonal mesoporous SBA-15 support. The samples were evaluated by N2 sorption and X-Ray diffraction (XRD) for the assessment of their textural and structural properties. The reducibility was characterized by temperature programmed reduction (TPR). The catalytic performances were evaluated in methane dry reforming and spent catalysts (after reaction) were characterized for the evaluation of sintering and coke formation by TPH/MS, XRD and HR-TEM.

“…17 El Hassan et al 18 proved high NiO nanoparticle dispersion inside SBA-15 pores through the impregnation method with two solvents. Tannous et al 19 reported the SBA-16 pore structure and its effect on catalytic activity and stability. They tried to develop better support nanomaterial in comparison with SBA-15.…”
