Abstract

Bi-reforming of methane (BRM) technology has the potential to serve as an alternative energy source while also mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. However, the main hurdle in the commercialization of BRM is catalyst deactivation. In this study, the ultrasonic-assisted impregnation method was utilized to prepare a Ni-based catalyst supported on fibrous KCC-1 and tested in the BRM process. The prepared catalysts were characterized by XRD, BET, FESEM and TPR-H₂ techniques to determine the textural and morphological properties of the catalyst. The catalytic performance was tested in a tabular fixed-bed continuous reactor at 800 °C with a stoichiometric feed ratio of 3:2:1 for CH₄: H₂O: CO₂. For high nickel loadings, it was discovered that agglomerates of the Ni-active phase form on the surface of the support. The catalysts with a 10 wt% Ni content produced the best CO₂ (79.2%) and CH₄ (82.1%) conversions, as well as an optimum H₂/CO = 1.62 ratio.
