Abstract
- A mesoporous-type catalytic support was synthesized through the modification of a smectite with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and microwaves. Texture and micro-morphology of the support was determined. Several techniques were employed in order to describe the chemical environment of active species on the surface. Ni particle sizes were dependent on the structural site of reducible species. High stable Ni-Ce catalysts (calcined at 800 °C) were evaluated in the CO reforming of methane reaction at 700 °C (WHSV = 96 L g h, without dilution gas and pre-reduction). The catalysts have presented CH conversions between 40 and 65%, CO conversion between 35 and 65% and H/CO ratios between 0.2 and 0.4. Graphical Abstract: Delaminated-clay was synthesized from a natural smectite using polyvinyl alcohol and microwaves. Ni-Ce catalysts supported on delaminated clay achieved high stability in dry reforming of methane for syngas production. [Figure not available: see fulltext.] [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
