Bi-reforming of methane on Ni/SBA-15 catalyst for syngas production: Influence of feed composition

Bi-reforming of methane (BRM) was evaluated for Ni catalyst dispersed on SBA-15 support prepared by hydrothermal technique. BRM reactions were conducted under atmospheric condition with varying reactant partial pressure in the range of 10–45 kPa and 1073 K in fixed-bed reactor. The ordered hexagonal...
