The auto-thermal reforming occurs in two simultaneous stages, namely, total combustion of methane and reforming of the unconverted methane with steam and CO2, with the O2 conversion of 100% starting from 450℃. For combination with CO2 reforming, the Pt/CeO2 catalyst showed the lowest initial activity at 800℃, and the highest stability over 40 h on-stream. This catalyst also presented the best performance for the reaction with steam at 800℃. The higher resistance to coke formation of the catalyst supported on ceria is due to the metal-support interactions and the higher mobility of oxygen in the oxide lattice.展开更多

Experiments were carried out under isothermal and isobaric conditions （T=543 K, P=2.1 MPa） and under different conditions of several H2/CO feed molar ratio （0.49-4.79）, space velocities （0.2-3.8 h^-1）, mass of catalyst （0.3-1.5 g）, and CO conversion （10%-29%）. Synthesis gas conversion was measured and data were reduced to estimate the kinetic parameters for different Langmuir-Hinshelwood rate expressions. Differential and integral reactor models were used for the nonlinear regression of kinetics parameters. One of the rate equations could well explain the data. The hydrocarbon product distributions that were experimentally determined exhibited an unusual behavior, and a possible explanation was discussed.展开更多

Morphology and incorporation of the nanoparticles in carbon nanotubes were investigated by specific surface area (BET method);thermogravimetric analyses (TGA);X-ray diffraction;Raman spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and XPS. The conversions of CO and O<sub>2</sub> were mostly 100% in groups C1 and C2 (temperature between 200 and 500<span style="white-space:nowrap;">°</span>C with low WHSV). In order to assess the effect of mass on catalytic activity, condition C3 was tested at even lower temperatures. In the tested catalyst, high activity (100% CO and O<sub>2</sub> conversion) was observed, keeping it active under reaction conditions, suggesting oxi-reduction of the RuO<sub>2</sub> at surface without affecting the MWCNT but Lewis acid influencing the CO<sub>2</sub> yield.展开更多
