Abstract

The development of new technologies that employ greenhouse gases, such as CO2 and CH4, is becoming more important in the fight against global warming. Catalytic methane dry reforming (MDR) is one straightforward way to reduce CO2 and CH4. In this study, the influence of nickel (Ni) loading on the catalytic performance of fibrous zeolite-Y catalysts (Ni/FHY) for MDR was explored. The study involved the synthesis and testing of Ni/FHY with varying Ni loadings (1 wt% to 10 wt%). The results demonstrate that the metal loading significantly affects the catalysts' performance through metal-support interaction. The catalytic activity showed that the performance of FHY increased with optimum metal loading of 5 wt% where the CO2 conversion increased to 90.3% from 82.2%, and CH4 conversion to 94.2% from 79.6%. The findings suggest that the 5 wt% optimal Ni loading showed the critical role of the metal-support interaction in shaping catalytic properties. Hence, this work provides insights into catalyst optimization for sustainable industrial processes, highlights the importance of the synergistic metal-support interaction, and provides insights into the relationship between Ni content and catalytic behavior. Thus, it offers a basis for optimizing catalysts in MDR and contributes to the advancement of sustainable industrial processes.
