Abstract

The use of CO2 in reforming methane to produce the industrial feedstock syngas is an economically and environmentally attractive reaction. An alumina-supported nickel catalyst active for this reaction additionally forms filamentous carbon. The catalyst is investigated by inelastic neutron scattering as well as elemental analysis, temperature-programmed oxidation, temperature-programmed hydrogenation, X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and Raman scattering. Isotopic substitution experiments, using 13CO2 for 12CO2, show the oxidant to contribute to the carbon retention evident with this sample. At steady-state operation, a carbon mass balance of 95% is observed. A kinetic scheme is proposed to account for the trends observed.
