The invention discloses a preparation method and application of a catalyst for preparing synthesis gas through
methane dry reforming, and belongs to the technical field of preparation and application of a catalyst for
methane dry reforming. The catalyst is composed of carriers (SiO2, Al2O3, MgO and the like), active metals (Ni, Co and the like),
oxide assistants (CeO2, La2O3, ZrO2, MgO, CaO and the like) and
alkali metal assistants (Na, K and the like). The
oxide auxiliary agent is uniformly dispersed on the surface of the carrier in a nano island structure; the active
metal component falls on the surface of the carrier modified by the
oxide nano island in a nano particle form. The preparation method of the catalyst is simple, high conversion rates of
methane and
carbon dioxide, high
hydrogen-carbon ratio (H2 / CO) and good catalytic stability can be achieved, in a 2000-hour long-period dry reforming reaction at 800 DEG C, the conversion rates of the
carbon dioxide and the methane are up to about 96% and 92%, the
hydrogen-carbon ratio is about 0.96, and obvious inactivation does not occur.
