Abstract

A small loading of highly dispersed Ru on Ni/MgAl₂O₄ catalyst was investigated in the dry reforming of methane (DRM) process. The catalysts were synthesized by impregnation and deposition-precipitation methods; the DRM reaction was performed at CH₄/CO₂/N₂ = 1/1/1 and 600‒750°C. The bimetallic Ni‒Ru catalysts exhibited improved reducibility and metal dispersion compared with that of the Ni catalyst. Among the synthesized catalysts, the Ru(D)/Ni(I)/MgAl₂O₄ catalyst had the highest metal dispersion (7.23%) and largest amount of CO₂ desorption (135 μmol/g). Thus, this catalyst exhibited the highest CH₄ conversion (85.6%) at 750°C. Additionally, coke deposition of only 2.69% occurred during the stability test.
