Oxy-Steam Reforming of Natural Gas on Ni Catalysts—A Minireview

Methane oxy-steam reforming over a highly efficient Ni/Al2O3 nanocatalyst prepared by microwave-assisted impregnation method

An alumina-supported nickel catalyst was prepared by impregnation of Ni2+ solution onto mesoporous alumina under microwave irradiation (denoted as M-Ni/Al2O3). For comparison, a catalyst with the same nickel content was prepared by conventional impregnation method (denoted as UM-Ni/Al2O3). Both M-Ni/Al2O3 and UM-Ni/Al2O3 catalysts were applied to the syngas (H2 + CO) production by methane oxy-s...

From natural gas to ethylene: a study on combining oxidative coupling of methane with steam reforming

Hydrogen production via steam reforming of LPG on Ni/Zeolite catalysts

Steam reforming is one of the most important processes for producing hydrogen from hydrocarbon fuels such as LPG and has attracted much attention due to its high efficiency and economy. In this study, the LPG steam reforming reaction was investigated on nickel catalysts supported on four various zeolites (H-Y, Na-Y, HZSM5 and Ferrierite). The catalytic tests were performed in a tubular fixed be...

Two novel oxy-fuel power cycles integrated with natural gas reforming and CO2 capture

Two novel system configurations were proposed for oxy-fuel natural gas turbine systems with integrated steam reforming and CO2 capture and separation. The steam reforming heat is obtained from the available turbine exhaust heat, and the produced syngas is used as fuel with oxygen as the oxidizer. Internal combustion is used, which allows a very high heat input temperature. Moreover, the turbine...

On the origin of reactivity of steam reforming of ethylene glycol on supported Ni catalysts.

This paper describes a strategy for producing hydrogen via steam reforming of ethylene glycol over supported nickel catalysts. Nickel plays a crucial role in conversion of ethylene glycol and production of hydrogen, while oxide supports affect product distribution of carbonaceous species. A plausible reaction pathway is proposed based on our results and the literature.
