Resumen:
In
recent years, renewed interest in the CO2 reforming of methane to
synthesis gas has arisen. This process converts two of the cheapest
carbon-containing gases into useful chemical products. This reaction is highly
endothermic and the Ni catalysts typically used for this process become
deactivated by carbon deposition and sintering of the metal. Therefore, prevent
both problems is very important for the obtention of synthesis gas over a Ni
catalyst. Noble metal are less sensible to deactivation but they have low availability and high cost . In
order to increase the stability and the useful life of supported Ni catalysts,
some elements were added acting as support modifiers or promoters of the active
phase. Some researchers have reported that the addition of rare earth metal
oxide improves the behavior of aluminabased catalysts used for differents
reactions. CeO2 as a promoter can enhance the activity, stability
and carbon resistance of Ni supported catalysts. By other hand, Rostrup-Nielsen
and Hansen found that Ru and Rh provided high selectivity with carbon-free
operations and high activities. In this work, the role of ceria and Rh as
promoters in Rh-Ni/Ce-aAl2O3
catalyst is reported.
