Lanthanum promoted cobalt catalyst for methane dry reforming
In the present work, different loadings of lanthanum cobalt based catalyst for the dry reforming reaction was studied. The BET specific surface area has declined with the increment of La loading although pore volume increased significantly beyond 1wt% La doping. 5wt% La-Co/MgO catalyst has BET speci...

In the present work, different loadings of lanthanum cobalt based catalyst for the dry reforming reaction was studied. The BET specific surface area has declined with the increment of La loading although pore volume increased significantly beyond 1wt% La doping. 5wt% La-Co/MgO catalyst has BET specific surface area of 31.67 m²g-1 and 0.30 cm3g-1 of pore volume. From FESEM imaging, an addition of lanthanum promoter has created solid with smaller particle size.
