Physicochemical characterization of Ni-Al2O3 and La-promoted Ni-Al2O3 catalyst for methane dry reforming
The CO2 reforming reaction of CH4 was conducted by using a Ni-based catalyst were prepared by the wet co-impregnation using nickel and lanthanum on alumina support. Monometallic catalyst of 10wt.%Ni-90wt.%Al2O3 was promoted with 3wt.% lanthanum metal. The physicochemical of catalysts were characteri...

Monometallic catalyst of 10wt.%Ni-90wt.%Al2O3 was promoted with 3wt.% lanthanum metal. The physicochemical of catalysts were characterized by XRF, FTIR, BET, and XRD respectively, which to compare the catalyst between the calcined catalyst of unpromoted (10wt.%Ni-90wt.%Al2O3) with 3La promoted (3wt.%La-10wt.%Ni-87wt.%Al2O3) performance for methane conversion to hydrogen.
