Alumina-Magnesia-Supported Ni for Hydrogen Production via the Dry Reforming of Methane: A Cost-Effective Catalyst System.

5Ni/MgO and 5Ni/γAlO are pronounced in the line of cheap catalyst systems for the dry reforming of methane. However, the lower reducibility of 5Ni/MgO and the significant coke deposition over 5Ni/γAlO limit their applicability as potential DRM catalysts. The mixing capacity of MgO and AlO may overcome these limitations without increasing the catalyst cost.
