Catalytic performance and characterization of Ni/CeO2/ZrO2 and commercial catalyst from Indonesia were investigated in steam reforming of methane. Ni/CeO2/ZrO2 catalyst was prepared using co-impregnation of cerium nitrate and nickel nitrate onto zirconia support material. BET, SEM, EDS, XRD, TPD, TG, and ICP analyses were employed for the characterization of the catalysts. Remarkable catalytic performance of Ni/CeO2/ZrO2 catalyst at 600oC operating temperature and atmospheric pressure of about 74.9% methane conversion was obtained compared to 55.9% using the commercial catalyst. In addition, the presence of cerium in Ni/CeO2/ZrO2 was effective in improving the stability and resistance to coke formation. Less carbon formation was confirmed from the thermo-gravimetric analysis. These results showed that the prepared catalyst is promising in the industrial application which can be used at lower operation temperature for energy saving.

The aim of this work is to evaluate the catalytic performance in steam reforming of methane of the NiAl2O4catalysts prepared by combustion reaction with different urea levels. The catalysts were prepared with urea in the stoichiometric proportion, and with excess of 10% and 20%. The samples were characterized by DRX, textural analysis by nitrogen adsorption, SEM, TPR, and then, catalytically evaluated in the methane reforming reaction. The results showed the presence of NiAl2O4and traces of NiO for all the samples. The increase of the urea content caused an increase in the particle size and a reduction in the surface area, from 171 to 35 m2/g. All the samples presented irregular morphology. The TPR curves showed peaks of reduction of the NiO species, and reduction of nickel present in the NiAl2O4. Regarding the conversion of methane to synthesis gas, it was observed that the increase of the urea content allowed obtaining higher conversion. However, it was also observed a rapid deactivation of these catalysts due to high coke deposition on the active phases surfaces.

Hydrogen production by steam reforming of methane was studied over Ni catalysts supported on CeO2, Al2O3 and CeO2-Al2O3. These catalysts were prepared using the impregnation method and characterized by XRD. The effect of CeO2 promoter on the catalytic performance of Ni/Al2O3 catalyst for methane steam reforming reaction was investigated. In fact, CeO2 had a positive effect on the catalytic activity in this reaction. Experimental results demonstrated that Ni/CeO2-Al2O3 catalyst showed excellent catalytic activity and high reaction performance. In addition, the effects of reaction temperature and metal content on the conversion of CH4 and H2/CO ratio were also investigated. Results indicated that CH4 conversion increased significantly with the increase of the reaction temperature and metal content.
