Abstract: | Nickel catalysts supported on Al2O3, Al2O3–CeO2, Al2O3–La2O3, and Al2O3–CeO2–La2O3 were synthesized via the sol–gel method in acidic solution. The influence of the chemical composition and textural properties of the catalysts on oxidative steam reforming of methane was studied. Methane, oxygen, nitrogen and steam were fed into a fixed bed reactor and tested under atmospheric pressure at 550 °C, with O/C ratio = 0.3, S/C ratio = 1.0, and WHSV = 170.8 h−1. During 6 h of reaction, methane conversion and hydrogen selectivity were determined. Although lanthanide oxides are known to have excellent features, the addition of ceria or lanthana did not improve the catalytic performance of the Ni/Al2O3 system. Nevertheless the addition of both dopants was needed to end up with a stable catalyst. Characterization results revealed a low crystallite size (40 Å), a high fraction of accessible Ni0 species (73.6%), migration of nickel and ceria from the bulk to the surface during activity tests, and a very low amount of coke deposited (4.7 mg C per g catalyst) on the Ni/Al2O3–CeO2–La2O3 catalyst that resulted in high catalytic activity. |
