Abstract

The threats of global warming to humanity is a pressing issue that receives tremendous attention, particularly after the 21st session of the Conference of the Parties (COP-21). In view of this, CO2 reforming of CH4 (dry reforming) was investigated in current study. The effect of CO2 feed rate on dry reforming reaction catalysed by CoAl2O4 was determined. The dry reforming reaction was evaluated based on CH4 conversion and the rate of carbon deposition on catalyst. It was found that the feed rate of CO2 had insignificant effect on CH4 conversion. However, the increased of CO2 feed rate was determined to be effective in mitigating the carbon deposition rate.
