A leading method for hydrogen production that is free of carbon oxides is catalytic methane decomposition. In this research, Fe and Fe-Ni supported catalysts prepared by the wet impregnation method were used in methane decomposition. The effects of doping the parent support (ZrO) with LaO and WO were studied.

In this study, Ni-supported catalysts were synthesized using the wet impregnation method to obtain 5%Ni/AlO(SA-5239), 5%Ni/AlO(SA-6175), 5%Ni/SiO, 5%Ni/MCM41, and 5%Ni/SBA15. The catalysts were tested in dry reforming of methane at 700 °C, 1 atm, and a space velocity of 39,000 mL/gcat h, to study the interaction of Ni with the supports, and evaluation was based on CH and CO conversions.
