Abstract

H 2 -rich gas production from CH 4 at mild temperature (673K), was achieved in a single step without introducing a separate oxygen stream. This was conducted in a plasma-assisted packed bed reactor in the presence of Ni-based catalysts doped on an active support, i.e. Fe 2 O 3 . Among the tested materials, NiO/Fe 2 O 3 was found to be very promising and its excellent catalytic properties seemed to be induced by the presence of Fe 2 O 3 , which suppressed the formation of deposited carbon, and thus maintained the catalytic effect of metallic Ni (formed during NiO reduction by the CH 4 /Ar plasma). This work demonstrates the potential of plasma-assisted chemical looping partial oxidation for H 2 production.
