Abstract

Several catalytic systems containing Ni/Mg/Al/Ce were synthesized from nitrates of Ni2+, Mg2+, Al3+ and Ce3+ cations with M2+/M3+ = 2 ratios by means of the carbonate co-precipitation method and subsequent calcination at 800 °C. Atomic absorption spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), FT-IR spectroscopy, BET, temperature programmed reduction and scanning electron microscopy were used in order to describe the structural, morphological and surface characteristics of the solids completely. The effect of substitution/incorporation of Al by Ce and/or Mg on NiAl sample was studied. XRD analyses confirm that on Al-containing samples (NiAl, NiMgAl), the formation of the precursors layered double hydroxide structure. On the other hand, on cerium containing samples (NiCe, NiMgCe), poorly resolved diffractograms were observed what can be explained by the large radius of cerium. The catalysts were evaluated in the reaction of CO2 reforming of methane at 750 °C. NiCe and NiMgAl catalysts exhibit higher activity and a H2/CO ratio of almost 1. NiAl and NiMgCe samples showed lower conversions and a CH4/CO2 ratio <1, indicating the occurrence of reverse water gas shift reaction.
