Studies of methane reforming with carbon dioxide over LaNiAl11O19

A new type of the catalyst, LaNiAl11O19, for the methane reforming with carbon dioxide was synthesized and evaluated. LaNiAl11O19 has a hexaaluminate structure and can keep large surface and heat resistance against sintering at high reaction temperature. As compared with La2O3-Ni/SrAl12O19, in the CH4 + CO2 reaction, LaNiAl11O19 catalyst displays a higher catalytic activity, lower coking amount and excellent sintering resistance of Ni particle, due to its stable structure.
