Syngas Production by Chemical Looping Dry Reforming of Methane over Ni-modified MoO/ZrO.

We investigated supported-MoO materials effective for the chemical looping dry reforming of methane (CL-DRM) to decrease the reaction temperature. Ni-modified molybdenum zirconia (Ni/MoO/ZrO) showed CL-DRM activity under isothermal reaction conditions of 650 °C, which was 100-200 °C lower than the previously reported oxide-based materials. Ni/MoO/ZrO activity strongly depends on the MoO loading amount.
