Nickel catalyst activation in the carbon dioxide reforming of methane Effect of pretreatments
Abstract.
A Ni/Al2O3 catalyst has been submitted to different treatments prior to catalytic test in the dry reforming
of methane. The performed pretreatments are: (i) calcination þ hydrogen reduction, (ii) direct hydrogen
reduction and (iii) heat treatment up to the reaction temperature under inert atmosphere. The activity is
not affected by the pretreatment carried out but a noticeable effect on the amount of deposited coke has
been observed, probably related with an influence of the pretreatment on the size and structure of the
nickel particles.
Keywords: Calcination, Reduction, Methane dry reforming, Nickel catalyst.
