DRY REFORMING OF CARBON DIOXIDE Carbon dioxide reforming (dry reforming) is for producing synthesis gas by the reaction of CO2 with hydrocarbons especially methane. Synthesis gas is conventionally produced via the steam reforming of naphtha. This has relevance to the concern on the greenhouse gases to global warming. It is a method of replacing steam as reactant with carbon dioxide. The methane carbon dioxide reforming reaction is: CO2 + CH4 2H2 + 2CO Halmann, Martin M. (1993). Carbon di oxide reforming.

CO2 reforming on Ni/Cu catalyst Factors like addition of copper to supported Ni system surface geometry, electronic structure, the extent of CH2 species, and hydrogen spill over contribute to Ni- Cu/support catalyst in CO2 reforming. 1. 1 wt% Cu8 wt% Ni/siO2 stability >7600C 2. active site is stabilized by Cu 3.

Processes occurring in the catalytic membrane reactor during the combined POM/DRM reaction
In this work, we have performed first principle calculations to study the adsorption of hydrogen on combined TM-decorated B- doped graphene surface. We found that transition metals Ni, Pd and Co show the great advantage of both hydrogen adsorption and H spillover method in the hydrogen storage process. Our results show that all the calculated activation barriers are sufficiently low for the H diffusion along the Ni-Pd and Pd-Co paths, indicating that a fast H diffusion on the substrate can be achieved under ambient conditions. Moreover, the calculated desorption energies of the hydrogen molecules on these TM decorated B-doped surface are close to the energies required to obtain reversible storage at room temperature and hence the proposed TM decorated boron doped graphene surface will be a good candidate to enhance the reversible hydrogen storage capacity.
Different isotope dependences on reaction kinetics have been observed during RBM of pure Mg powder and Mg Ti powder mixtures. For pure Mg, gas absorption depends on the isotope nature and the rls is assigned to H(D)-diffusion in MgH2 phase. In contrast, in presence of Ti, the diffusion lengths in MgH2 phase are strongly shortened due to the abrasive properties of TiH(D)2. Thus, gas absorption turns to be isotope independent and the rls is assigned to the milling efficiency. Analysis of hydrogen and deuterium kinetic curves under isothermal conditions (548 K) has highlighted outstandingly fast reaction rates for the nanocomposite. Absorption is diffusion controlled whereas desorption depends on the Mg/MgH2 interface displacement. Finally, we have shown by means of HP-DSC the superior cycling stability of 0.7MgH2 0.3TiH2 nanocomposite over 100 cycles. Though, the crystallite growth associated to cycling at moderate temperatures (<650 K) induces modifications in the absorption mechanism, which changes on cycling from extended MgH2 nucleation at Mg/TiH2 interfaces to H- diffusion across the MgH2 layer. Nevertheless, the composite material exhibits excellent kinetics and cycling properties as compared to pure Mg.
