CeO2-promoted Ni/Al2O3 catalysts were fabricated by impregnation. The effects of the CeO2 promotion and impregnation order on the microstructural evolution and catalytic durability were investigated for methane steam reforming. The CeO2-promoter nanoparticles resulted in good dispersion and reduced particle size of Ni catalysts. The enhanced durability of CeO2-promoted Ni/Al2O3 catalysts might be associated with the depression of carbon deposition by the presence of CeO2-promoter nanoparticles.

Three Ni-based natural gas steam reforming catalysts, i.e., commercial JM25-4Q and JM57-4Q, and a laboratory-made catalyst (26% Ni on a 5% SiO2–95% Al2O3), are tested in a laboratory reactor, under carbon dioxide methanation and methane steam reforming operating conditions. The laboratory catalyst is more active in both CO2 methanation (equilibrium is reached at 623 K with 100% selectivity) and methane steam reforming (92% hydrogen yield at 890 K) than the two commercial catalysts, likely due to its higher nickel loading. In any case, commercial steam reforming catalysts also show interesting activity in CO2 methanation, reduced by K-doping. The interpretation of the experimental results is supported by a one-dimensional (1D) pseudo-homogeneous packed-bed reactor model, embedding the Xu and Froment local kinetics, with appropriate kinetic parameters for each catalyst. In particular, the H2O adsorption coefficient adopted for the commercial catalysts is about two orders of magnitude higher than for the laboratory-made catalyst, and this is in line with the expectations, considering that the commercial catalysts have Ca and K added, which may promote water adsorption.

Ni catalysts used in Methane Steam Reforming (MSR) are highly susceptible to poisoning by carbon-based species, which poses a major impediment to the productivity of industrial operations. These graphitic carbon-like...
