Abstract
Argon glow discharge plasma was applied for treatment of impregnated Ni-Cu/Al2O3-ZrO2 nanocatalyst. The catalytic performance toward CO2 reforming of methane and the physicochemical properties were investigated by means of GC, BET, XRD, FESEM, TEM, EDX, TG-DTG, XPS and FTIR techniques. The plasma-treated nanocatalyst contains smaller crystal size and high dispersion of NiO. Plasma treatment decreased particle size and plasma high_x000D_
energy species flattened particles on support, increasing the interaction between support and active metals which leads to high catalytic activity. Low temperature activity and H2/CO ratio closer to 1 was observed for plasma-treated nanocatalyst compared to non-treated sample. Moreover, higher product yield and H2/CO ratio was found in CH4/CO2=1 rather than CH4/CO2=1.5. Time on stream test during 1,440 min at 850 ℃ showed plasma-treated Ni-Cu/Al2O3-ZrO2 nanocatalyst did not experience any deactivation in terms of CH4 and CO2 conversion and H2/CO ratio.
