Carbon Dioxide Reforming of Methane over Zeolite-containing Catalysts

Abstract

<p>Reforming of methane by carbon dioxide (dry reforming of methane) has been studied over the series of the 5% Со-М/Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>+ zeolite catalysts. The effect of zeolite (type, module, and amount) added to support composition on performance of the Со-М/Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> catalyst in dry reforming has been examined. It has been shown that syngas is a main product of dry reforming over the zeolite-containing catalysts. Also, some amount (up to 3%) of acetic acid is produced. The yield of syngas and acetic acid depends on nature and amount of zeolite and process conditions.</p>
