Research progress in dry-reforming of methane

Dry-reforming of methane can be used to prepare the carbon monoxide-rich syngas or hydrogen from carbon dioxide and the gases containing methane,such as natural gas and especially biogas which is rich in methane and carbon dioxide.Due to dry-reforming of methane has good environmental and economic benefit,it has become a current hot research topic.The research progresses in the catalysts,including active components,supports,promoters,method of preparation,operation parameter,reaction mechanism and deposition of carbon,and the new plasma dry-reforming of methane technology were introduced.
