Production of CO-rich Hydrogen from Methane Dry Reforming Over Lanthania-Supported Cobalt Catalyst: Kinetic and Mechanistic Studies

In this study, the production of CO-rich hydrogen from methane dry reforming over lanthania-supported Co catalyst was investigated. The Co/La2O3 catalyst was synthesized via wet-impregnation method and characterized using instrument techniques such as TGA, FTIR, XRD, FESEM-EDX and N2 adsorption-des...

description In this study, the production of CO-rich hydrogen from methane dry reforming over lanthania-supported Co catalyst was investigated. The Co/La2O3 catalyst was synthesized via wet-impregnation method and characterized using instrument techniques such as TGA, FTIR, XRD, FESEM-EDX and N2 adsorption-desorption analysis. The catalytic activity of the Co/La2O3 catalyst tested in a fixed bed stainless steel reactor yielded highest CH4 and CO2 conversion of 50% and 60% respectively at 1023 K and feed ratio of 1.0. The methane dry reforming reaction gave highest H2 and CO yield of 45% and 58% respectively. Furthermore, kinetics and mechanistic behavior of the La2O3 supported Co catalyst in methane dry reforming reaction was investigated as a function of temperature and partial pressure of reactants (CH4 and CO2). The experimental data obtained from the kinetics measurements were fitted using the empirical power-law rate expression, as well as six different Langmuir-Hinshelwood kinetics models. The six models were then statistically and thermodynamically discriminated. Consequently, the Langmuir-Hinshelwood kinetics model (dual-site associative adsorption of both CH4 and CO2 with bimolecular surface reaction) was adjudged the best representative model. Activation energy values of 96.44 and 98.11 kJ mol�1 were obtained for the CH4 consumptions from the power-law and Langmuir-Hinshelwood models, respectively. A lower activation energy of circa 72 kJ mol�1 obtained for CO2 consumption showed that the rate of consumption of CO2 consumption was speedier than CH4.
