Abstract
Dry reforming of methane has exhibited significant environmental benefits as it utilizes two major greenhouse gases (CO2 and CH4) to produce synthesis gas, a major building block for hydrocarbons. This process has gained industrial attention as catalyst deactivation due to coke deposition being a major hindrance. The present study focuses on the dry reforming of methane over Ni-supported mesoporous zirconia support. Ni metal was loaded over in-house synthesized mesoporous zirconia within the 0–15 wt% range using the wet impregnation method. The physicochemical properties of the synthesized catalysts were studied using various characterization techniques, namely, XRD, SEM, FTIR, TGA, and N2 adsorption-desorption techniques. The activity of all the catalysts was evaluated at 750°C and gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) of 72000 ml/h/gcat for 9 hours (540 min). The deactivation factor indicating a loss in conversion with time is reported for each catalyst. 10 wt% Ni/ZrO2 showed the highest feed conversion of about 68.8% for methane and 70.2% for carbon dioxide and the highest stability (15.1% deactivation factor and 21% weight loss) for dry reforming of methane to synthesis gas.

Abstract
Dry reforming of methane was studied over high-ratio zirconia in ceria-zirconia-mixed oxide-supported Ni catalysts. The catalyst was synthesized using co-precipitation and impregnation methods. The effects of the catalyst support and Ni composition on the physicochemical characteristics and performance of the catalysts were investigated. Characterization of the physicochemical properties was conducted using X-ray diffraction (XRD), N2-physisorption, H2-TPR, and CO2-TPD. The results of the activity and stability evaluations of the synthesized catalysts over a period of 240 min at a temperature of 700 °C, atmospheric pressure, and WHSV of 60,000 mL g−1 h−1 showed that the 10%Ni/CeZrO2 catalyst exhibited the highest catalytic performance, with conversions of CH4 and CO2 up to 74% and 55%, respectively, being reached. The H2/CO ratio in the product was 1.4, which is higher than the stoichiometric ratio of 1, indicating a higher formation of H2. The spent catalysts showed minimal carbon deposition based on the thermo-gravimetry analysis, which was <0.01 gC/gcat, so carbon deposition could be neglected.

Prospects and Technical Challenges in Hydrogen Production through Dry Reforming of Methane. Catalysts 2022.

Abstract
Environmental issues related to greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions have pushed the development of new technologies that will allow the economic production of low-carbon energy vectors, such as hydrogen (H2), methane (CH4) and liquid fuels. Dry reforming of methane (DRM) has gained increased attention since it uses CH4 and carbon dioxide (CO2), which are two main greenhouse gases (GHG), as feedstock for the production of syngas, which is a mixture of H2 and carbon monoxide (CO) and can be used as a building block for the production of fuels. Since H2 has been identified as a key enabler of the energy transition, a lot of studies have aimed to benefit from the environmental advantages of DRM and to use it as a pathway for a sustainable H2 production. However, there are several challenges related to this process and to its use for H2 production, such as catalyst deactivation and the low H2/CO ratio of the syngas produced, which is usually below 1.0. This paper presents the recent advances in the catalyst development for H2 production via DRM, the processes that could be combined with DRM to overcome these challenges and the current industrial processes using DRM. The objective is to assess in which conditions DRM could be used for H2 production and the gaps in literature data preventing better evaluation of the environmental and economic potential of this process.

Abstract
Coking and metal sintering are limitations of large-scale applications of Ni/Al2O3 catalysts in DRM reactions. In this review, several modification strategies to enhance the anti-deactivation property of Ni/Al2O3 are proposed and discussed with the recently developed catalyst systems, including structure and morphology control, surface acidity/basicity, interfacial engineering and oxygen defects. In addition, the structure–performance relationship and deactivation/anti-deactivation mechanisms are illustrated in depth, followed by prospects for future work.

Abstract
Dry reforming of methane (DRM) has a substantial potential to provide a cost-effective process and in reducing greenhouse gases. Its application has been hindered by carbon deposition and instability problems. The use of an appropriate catalyst is influenced by the support type. The objective of this investigation is to elucidate the effect of different sources of ZrO2 support. Four kinds of ZrO2, namely RC-100 and Z-3215, MKnano, and ELTN were acquired from Japan, Canada, and China, respectively. The catalyst samples were analyzed by BET, XRD, TPR, TPD, TEM, TGA, TPO, FT-IR, and Raman. The analysis of the structural properties displayed that all Ni-supported catalysts, regardless of their source, are mesoporous and that 5Ni-RC-100 possessed the highest BET surface area of 17.7 m2/g and 5Ni-MKnano had the lowest value of BET 3.16 m2/g. In the TPD and TEM analysis, the 5Ni-RC-100 catalyst presented the highest intensity of basicity and the minimum average particle size of 3.35 nm, respectively. The 5Ni-RC-100 catalyst outperformed 5Ni-ELTN by exhibiting 44% higher CH4 conversion; however, 5Ni-RC-100 gave the highest weight loss in the TGA analysis of 66%.

Abstract
Development of a transition metal based catalyst aiming at concomitant high activity and stability attributed to distinguished catalytic characteristics is considered as the bottleneck for dry reforming of methane (DRM). This work highlights the role of modifying zirconia (ZrO2) and alumina (Al2O3) supported nickel based catalysts using lanthanum oxide (La2O3) varying from 0 to 20 wt% during dry reforming of methane. The mesoporous catalysts with improved BET surface areas, improved dispersion, relatively lower reduction temperatures and enhanced surface basicity are identified after La2O3 doping. These factors have influenced the catalytic activity and higher hydrogen yields are found for La2O3 modified catalysts as compared to base catalysts (5 wt% Ni-ZrO2 and 5 wt% Ni-Al2O3). Post-reaction characterizations such as TGA have showed less coke formation over La2O3 modified samples. Raman spectra indicates decreased graphitization for La2O3 catalysts. The 5Ni-10La2O3-ZrO2 catalyst produced 80% hydrogen yields, 25% more than that of 5Ni-ZrO2. 5Ni-15La2O3-Al2O3 gave 84% hydrogen yields, 8% higher than that of 5Ni-Al2O3. Higher CO2 activity improved the surface carbon oxidation rate. From the study, the extent of La2O3 loading is dependent on the type of oxide support.

Evaluation of Using Biogas to Supply the Dual Fuel Diesel Engine of an Agricultural Tractor. ENERGIES 2019.

Abstract
It is known that biogas without prior purification to biomethane is a commonly used fuel only for the stationary internal combustion engines but not for vehicle engines. The current study evaluates the use of biogas without its prior upgrading to biomethane as fuel for tractor engines. The following tests were carried out: biochemical methane potential tests, dynamometer engine tests, and field tests with the use of a tractor. The average methane content in biogas obtained from vegetable wastes exceeded 60%. The tests performed on the engine dynamometer showed that the engine powered by dual fuel worked stably when diesel was replaced by 40% biogas (containing 50% of CO2) or 30% methane. Dual fuel supplying of the engine caused an increase in the concentration of hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide in the exhaust gases and a decrease or no effect in the concentration of particulate matter and nitrogen oxides. It did not significantly affect the dynamics of the vehicle and its useful properties. Biogas that contains a maximum of 50% CO2 and from which H2S, moisture, and siloxanes have been largely removed, is suitable as a fuel for tractors. Such biogas can be obtained in biogas plants from different substrates, e.g., vegetable or agriculture wastes as well as biodegradable municipal wastes.
