Abstract

The catalyst MNi0.9Zr0.1O3 (M = La, Ce, and Cs) was prepared using the sol–gel preparation technique investigated for the dry reforming of methane reaction to examine activity, stability, and H2/CO ratio. The lanthanum in the catalyst LaNi0.9Zr0.1O3 was partially substituted for cerium and zirconium for yttrium to give La0.6Ce0.4Ni0.9Zr0.1-xYxO3 (x = 0.05, 0.07, and 0.09). The La0.6Ce0.4Ni0.9Zr0.1- xYxO3 catalyst’s activity increases with an increase in yttrium loading. The activities of the yttrium-modified catalysts La0.6Ce0.4Ni0.9Zr0.03Y0.07O3 and La0.6Ce0.4Ni0.9Zr0.01Y0.09O3 are higher than the unmod-ified La0.6Ce0.4Ni0.9Zr0.1O3 catalyst, the latter having methane and carbon dioxide conversion values of 84% and 87%, respectively, and the former with methane and carbon dioxide conversion values of 86% and 90% for La0.6Ce0.4Ni0.9Zr0.03Y0.07O3 and 89% and 91% for La0.6Ce0.4Ni0.9Zr0.01Y0.09O3, respec-tively. The BET analysis depicted a low surface area of samples ranging from 2 to 9m2/g. The XRD peaks confirmed the formation of a monoclinic phase of zirconium. The TPR showed that apparent reduction peaks occurred in moderate temperature regions. The TGA curve showed weight loss steps in the range 773 K–973 K, with CsNi0.9Zr0.1O3 carbon deposition being the most severe. The coke deposit on La0.6Ce0.4Ni0.9Zr0.1O3 after 7h time on stream (TOS) was the lowest, with 20% weight loss. The amount of weight loss increases with a decrease in zirconium loading.
