Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the impact of rhodium oxide (RhO) doping on nickel catalysts supported by yttria-stabilized zirconia for dry reforming of methane at 800 °C.
- RhO addition enhances catalyst activation, achieves optimal conversions of ~89% for CH and ~92% for CO at 4.0 wt.% loading, and reduces catalyst surface basicity, improving performance.
- Thermogravimetric analysis indicates that RhO reduces carbon formation, increasing catalyst stability by promoting carbon oxidation, with a notable 12.5% weight loss of carbon observed at the optimal RhO loading.
Ethylene is considered the most important petrochemical constituent in the world today. It is currently produced via the thermal cracking process, which is generally expensive. Ethane dehydrogenation (EDH) is endothermic, and the thermodynamic equilibrium limits its conversion.

Various organic/inorganic model foulants such as sodium alginate, bovine serum albumin (BSA) and silica nanoparticles were applied to polyamide-polyethersulfone FO hollow fiber membranes fabricated in our laboratory. In order to understand all possible interactions, experiments were performed with a single foulant as well as combinations of foulants.
