Correlation Between The Preparation Methods And The Physiochemical Characteristics Of Mgal₂O₄ As A Support For Ni Catalysts In Partial Oxidation Of Methane, Fatima El Alem

Theses

Due to different technical challenges associated with direct use of methane, the main component of natural gas, its conversion to higher hydrocarbons has been a subject of great industrial importance. All of the known routes for methane conversion are catalytic processes, where the performance is largely dependent on the physicochemical properties of the catalyst. The catalysts that have shown promising performance in methane reforming are based on expensive metals such as Pt, Pd, and Ru. Ni, on the other hand, is a cost-effective metal and has shown promising catalytic activity. These catalysts are usually in the form of metal nanoparticles …
