Bi-reforming of methane with steam and CO2 under pressurized conditions on a durable Ir–Ni/MgAl2O4 catalyst†
Abstract
High pressure reforming of methane is critical for process economics, but imposes increased risk of catalyst coke deposition. Herein, a coke- and sintering-resistant Ir–Ni alloy catalyst is presented, which is durable in methane bi-reforming at 850 °C and 20 bars for up to 434 h.
