Cold plasma dielectric barrier discharge reactor for dry reforming of methane over Ni/ɤ-Al2O3-MgO nanocomposite

Dry reforming of methane (DRM) to syngas in a dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma reactor over Ni-loaded ɤ-Al2O3-MgO nanocomposite catalysts has been investigated. The catalysts are prepared by modified incipient wetness impregnationmethod, assisted by cold plasma treatment. The samples are characterized by XRD, N2 adsorption-desorption, H2-TPR, CO2-TPD, FESEM and EDX. … Continue reading
