Abstract

The mesoporous gamma-alumina (γ-Al₂O₃) synthesized via evaporation-induced self-assembly method (EISA) using inorganic salt, Al(NO₃)₃·9H₂O precursor and water-ethanol solvent mixture was implemented as a support for Co catalyst in methane dry reforming at 973–1073 K under 1 atm. The γ-Al₂O₃ support possessed filament-shaped morphology with surface area of 173.4 m² g⁻¹ and cobalt nanoparticles were successfully dispersed on support with small crystallite size of 7.8 nm. The stability of 10%Co/Al₂O₃ was evident for CH₄ and CO₂ conversions at 1023 and 1073 K. CH₄ conversion could reach to 76.2% while 81.6% was observed for CO₂ conversion at 1073 K. Although graphitic and amorphous carbons were unavoidably formed on used catalyst, 10%Co/Al₂O₃ exhibited an outstanding performance comparable to noble metals with the desired ratio of H₂/CO for downstream Fischer-Tropsch process.
