Abstract

In this paper, the catalytic properties of La-Ni-M (M = Co, Cu) based materials in dry reforming of methane (DRM) for syngas (CO + H2) production, were studied in the temperature range 773−1073 K. The LaNi0.9M0.1O3 and La2Ni0.9M0.1O4 (M = Co, Cu and Ni/M = 0.9/0.1) catalysts were prepared by partial substitution of Ni by Co or Cu using sol-gel method then characterized by XRD, H2-TPR and N2 physisorption. The XRD analysis of fresh catalysts showed, in the case of Co-substitution, the formation of La-Ni and La-Co perovskite and spinel structures, while only LaNiO3 and La2NiO4 phases were observed for the Cu-substituted samples. The substitution of these two structures by copper decreases the reduction temperature compared to cobalt. The reactivity results showed that the partial substitution of nickel by copper decreases the methane activation temperature, whereas a better stability of catalytic activity and syngas production was obtained via the cobalt-substituted catalysts, which is due to a synergistic effect between Ni and Co. The TPO analysis carried out on the spent catalysts indicated that the lowest carbon deposition was obtained for the cobalt substituted samples. Copyright © 2020 BCREC Group. All rights reserved
