Description

Researchers at the University of Saskatchewan have developed a novel catalyst and method of manufacture that overcomes a number of the issues that have been associated with Dry Reforming. The catalyst performs at 720C, 1 atm, at gas velocities of 110,000 ml/g/hr, with no sinterting, no carbon deposition with conversion rates of 91% for both methane and carbon dioxided. The catalyst has been tested for 2000 hours in the reactor.

State of Development

The catalyst has been tested for 2000 hours in the reactor.
