Abstract
Abstract Nickel catalysts with a load of 5 wt.% Ni, supported on pure ZrO 2 and ZrO 2 stabilized with 4 mol%, 8 mol% and 12 mol% of Y 2 O 3 , were prepared by the polymerization method. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), temperature-programmed reduction with hydrogen (TPR-H 2 ), specific surface area (BET) and electronic paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and tested as catalysts for carbon dioxide reforming of methane. The XRD patterns showed the presence of the oxide precursor (NiO) and the tetragonal phase of a Y 2 O 3 –ZrO 2 solid solution. According to the TPR-H 2 analysis, the reduction of various NiO species was influenced by the composition of the support. Catalytic tests were conducted at 800 °C for 6 h, and the composition of the gaseous products and the catalytic conversion rate depended on the composition of the Y 2 O 3 –ZrO 2 solid solution and its influence on the supported NiO species. A direct relation was observed between the variation in the support, the nickel species supported on it and the performance in the catalytic tests.
