F) ABSTRACT: In the frame of the reduction of greenhouse gases, hydrotalcite nano-catalysts become a key component in the process of the dry reforming of methane (DRM). This process is now intensely investigated, both academically and industrially. The DRM reaction leads to the production of syngas with a lower H<sub>2</sub>/CO ratio (= 1) which is appropriate for the Fischer-Tropsch and methanol syntheses. The use of hydrotalcite at the industrial level, however, faces key issues such as the sintering of the active phase and the deactivation of catalysts by carbon deposits. This presentation provides an understanding of the overview of the key issues of the use of hydrotalcite in the DRM process. This will be illustrated by some examples including selection of materials, catalyst synthesis, alternative materials and synthesis routes, their characterisation, performance in term of conversion efficiency, and ageing ability regarding the DRM process. Finally, a comprehensive review of the developed materials so far and current trends in the development of material combination will be provided. References: <b></b> |
