Autothermal Reforming of Model Biogas over Nickel-Based Catalysts Using Multi-Reactor Technology

Autothermal reforming of model biogas for hydrogen production was performed on different nickel-based catalysts. In order to save time with long-term experiments, a six-flow reactor technology was implemented to test six catalysts simultaneously. Ni-Rh/MgAl₂O₄ showed a high resistance to deactivation. Preliminary results showed that deactivation was related to oxidation.
