Precursor influence and catalytic behaviour of Ni/CeO2 and Ni/SiC catalysts for the tri-reforming process

Energy efficient methane tri-reforming for synthesis gas production over highly coke resistant nanocrystalline Ni–ZrO2 catalyst

“…The process is also considered to be very good for production of hydrogen from biogas [81]. The mixture of gasses produced by the described trireforming process is mainly CO and hydrogen which can be used for molten carbonate fuel cells (MCFC) and solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) for the generation of electricity [43,57,82]. The produced H2/CO ratio by the tri-reforming process is mostly in between 1.5 and 2 [24] and the ratio makes the product gasses directly useful for the production of methanol synthesis [83], DME synthesis [84,85] and for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis [26].…”

A comparison of Ni/SiC and Ni/Al2O3 catalyzed total methanation for production of synthetic natural gas

“…It is a very promising catalyst support in place of the traditional insulated supports in highly endothermic or exothermic reactions [15,16]. SiC has been proved to be a superior catalyst support in many different reactions, e.g., methane reforming [17][18][19][20][21], automotive exhaust treatment [22][23][24], methane combustion [25][26][27], butane oxidation [28], Fischer-Tropsch synthesis [29][30][31], oxidative coupling of methane [32], isomerization [33], and dehydrogenation [34]. However, to the best of our knowledge, SiC support is less employed in the methanation reaction.…”

Catalyst Deactivation and Regeneration Processes in Biogas Tri-Reforming Process. The Effect of Hydrogen Sulfide Addition

“…This is the reason why different supports have been tested in order to achieve a stable performance [11]. Vita et al achieved an improvement in the methane tri-reforming reaction by the addition of La to the Ni/CeO 2 catalytic system and afterwards, a high activity and stability for biogas tri-reforming using a Ni-based ceria-lanthana catalyst.…”
