Cofeeding of Methane and Ethane to Produce Syngas over a LiLaNiO/γ -Al2O3 Catalyst

Partial oxidation of methane and ethane to syngas over a LiLaNiO/γ -Al2O3 catalyst was investigated with a flow-reactor, XPS and XRD. Excellent reaction performance for CH4-C2H6-O2 to syngas over the LiLaNiO/γ -Al2O3 catalyst was achieved at 1073K, obtaining CO selectivity of 90%-95% and CH4 conversion of～97%, with a wide range of C2H6 content in the feed and of space velocity.
