Mixed Metal Oxide Extrudate Catalyst

Tech ID: 17A052

Competitive Advantages

  • Good conversion activity
  • Highly resistant to coke formation
  • Better mass transfer
  • Higher surface area/pore volume

Summary

USF researchers have developed improved NiMg/Ce0.6Zr0.4O2 pellet catalysts for biogas tri-reforming. The technology utilized biogas to produce syngas (H2 and CO) via reforming technologies followed by Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis (FTS) to produce higher value products. Inventors have developed a method for economical and efficient production of syngas from biogas extruded catalyst pellets. These pellets exhibit catalytic performance with both surrogate and landfill biogas with high resistance to carbon deposition, sintering, and attrition. 

 

Figure Shows that CH4 Conversion is not Largely Influenced by the H20/CH4 Molar Feed Ratio when Tri-reforming Over Fresh NiMg/Ce0.6Zr0.4O2
