摘要
Methane decomposition reaction has been studied at three different activation temperatures（500℃,800℃ and950℃）over mesoporous alumina supported Ni–Fe and Mn–Fe based bimetallic catalysts.On co-impregnation of Ni on Fe/Al2O3the activity of the catalyst was retained even at the high activation temperature at 950℃ and up to180 min.The Ni promotion enhanced the reducibility of Fe/Al2O3oxides showing higher catalytic activity with a hydrogen yield of 69%.The reactivity of bimetallic Mn and Fe over Al2O3catalyst decreased at 800℃ and 950℃ activation temperatures.Regeneration studies revealed that the catalyst could be effectively recycled up to 9times.The addition of O2（1 ml,2 ml,4 ml）in the feed enhanced substantially CH4conversion,the yield of hydrogen and the stability of the catalyst.
