Utilization of palm oil fuel ash (POFA) as catalyst support for methane decomposition

Materials Enabling Methane and Toluene Gas Treatment

“…Hanifa et al investigated the effects of solvent and pretreatment processes on the Ni catalytic performance of palm oil fuel ash (POFA) catalysts loaded with 10% Ni. The POFA carriers prepared by the ultrasonic pretreatment process had smaller particle sizes compared to the conventional stirring process, and had 71% initial CH 4 conversion and 4.2% initial H 2 yield in methanolysis [34]. V 2 CTx/V 2 AlC catalysts modified with nickel were fabricated using impregnation/precipitation and high-frequency etching techniques by Wysocka et al Their catalytic function was studied at 800 • C and 1 bar in the DRM process.…”
