Synthesis of Ni(10%)-Co(8%)/Al2O3-MgO nanocatalyst with Al/Mg=5 using ultrasound energy for H2 production via reforming process

Dry reforming of methane is used for hydrogen production with H2/CO ratio equals one. Ni-Co/Al2O3- MgO nanocatalyst synthesized via ultrasound method is a novel catalyst for DRM. XRD, SEM and FTIR analysis were used for catalyst characterization. XRD pattern and SEM images show high crystallinity and the nano structure of synthesized catalyst, respectively. Catalytic performance test of Ni-Co bimetallic nanocatalyst exhibits high and stable activity for methane conversion. No deactivation was observed for DRM process after 10 hour time on stream.
