Abstract
Modified red mud catalyst compositions, methods for production, and methods of use in steam reforming, the composition comprising: red mud material produced from an alumina extraction process from bauxite ore; and nickel oxide, the nickel oxide present at between about 5 wt. % to about 40 wt. % of the modified red mud catalyst composition.
Claims19
A method for steam reforming over a modified red mud catalyst composition, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a methane feed and a steam feed to react over the modified red mud catalyst composition at increased temperature and increased pressure to produce synthesis gas comprising H2 and CO, the composition comprising:
- red mud material produced from an alumina extraction process from bauxite ore;
- and
- nickel oxide, the nickel oxide present at between about 5 wt. % to about 40 wt. % of the modified red mud catalyst composition.
