The Influence of Promoter on Ni(15)/La(5)/γ-Al2O3 Catalyst in CO2-Steam Reforming of Methane to Syngas at High Pressure.

Catalysts were investigated with respect to catalytic activity and coke formation in combined steam and carbon dioxide reforming of methane to develop a highly active and stable catalyst for gas to liquid processes. Ni/La-X/Al2O3 (X = Co, Ce, Mo) catalysts were prepared by an impregnation method. The combined steam and carbon dioxide reforming of methane reaction were studied as a function of high pressure (20 bar) in a fixed bed reactor system.

Carbon Deposition from the CO2-Steam Reforming of Methane Over Modified Ni/γ-Al2O3 Catalysts.

The aim of this work is to study the catalytic activity and suppression of carbon deposition in the CO2-Steam reforming of methane (SCR) to develop a high performance catalyst for GTL-FPSO application which is required to high pressure (20 bar) for F-T synthesis. Ni/La-X(6)/Al2O3 (X = Ce, Mg, Zr) catalysts were prepared by the impregnation method. The catalytic reaction was studied in a fixed bed reactor system at high pressure.

Dehydration of glycerol over niobia-supported silicotungstic acid catalysts.

Liquid-phase dehydration of glycerol to acrolein over nanosized niobia-supported silicotungstic acid catalysts was performed to investigate the effect of the silicotungstic acid loading on the catalytic performance of the catalysts. The catalysts were prepared by following an impregnation method with different HSiW loadings in the range of 10-50 wt%. The prepared catalysts were characterized by N2 physisorption, XRD, FT-IR, TPD of ammonia, and TGA.
