Conversion of carbon dioxide and methane to syngas over Ni/SiO2 catalyst prepared from waste palm oil fuel ash

Carbon dioxide (CO2) reforming of methane (CH4) over nickel (Ni)-supported SiO2 catalyst is a greener approach as this pathway transforms greenhouse gases into gas energy. SiO2 support was synthesized from waste palm oil fuel ash (POFA) with different Ni loading (Ni/SiO2). The SiO2(POFA) was synthes...

Conversion of carbon dioxide and methane to syngas over Ni/SiO2 catalyst prepared from waste palm oil fuel ash
description Carbon dioxide (CO2) reforming of methane (CH4) over nickel (Ni)-supported SiO2 catalyst is a greener approach as this pathway transforms greenhouse gases into gas energy. SiO2 support was synthesized from waste palm oil fuel ash (POFA) with different Ni loading (Ni/SiO2). The SiO2(POFA) was synthesized by drying the treated POFA overnight and calcined at 600°C for 6 h. The Ni/SiO2 (POFA) catalyst with different Ni loading were synthesized by impregnation method. The physicochemical properties of the Ni/SiO2 (POFA) were characterized using nitrogen adsorption-desorption, x-ray diffraction (XRD), and fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy.
