Abstract:
An integrated effect of non-thermal plasma and catalyst on methane reforming with CO2 was
investigated in gliding arc plasma minireactor with supported catalysts. This research work
focused the effects of metal oxide types (NiO and CoO) and metal oxide loading (1, 2 and 3 M
concentration of metal salt solution) on the plasma-catalytic performance. NiO and CoO
catalysts on Al2O3 ball support were prepared by a wet impregnation method, and were
characterized by SEM-EDS and BET surface area & pore analyzer. The results showed that the
catalytic activity of NiO/Al2O3 catalyst was comparatively greater than CoO/Al2O3 catalyst. At
the same metal oxide loading, NiO/Al2O3 catalyst provided higher CH4 and CO2 conversions
than CoO/Al2O3 ones. The higher amount of NiO and CoO loaded on Al2O3 ball support
synergistically resulted in the higher H2 and CO selectivities. The catalyst of 1M NiO/Al2O3
exhibited the highest CH4 and CO2 conversions of 22.87% and 8.82% with the H2 and CO
selectivities of 53.41% and 24.38% while the 3M NiO/Al2O3 catalyst exhibited the highest H2
and CO selectivities of 58.07% and 26.83% with the CH4 and CO2 conversions of 20.66% and
3.26%, respectively.
