The method is promising because it has potential to deliver an alternative energy source and is effective in mitigating greenhouse gases (GHGs). In this study, Ni-based catalyst with 5 wt supported Al2O3 and various Ca (2â��4 wt) loadings were prepared by following the wetness impregnation method. Characterization techniques, including Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), were applied to observe prepared catalysts' structural morphology and physicochemical properties. Based on XRD analysis, the CaO-4wt catalyst exhibited higher crystallinity than the CaO-2wt catalyst, enabling it to withstand greater forces and take longer to deteriorate. To improve the catalyst activity, CaO was added as a promoter that altered the contact between Ni and Al2O3 and modified the properties of the catalysts for an excellent activity. A fixed-bed continuous reactor with a feed ratio CH4: CO2: H2O of 3:1:2 at 1073 K was used to observe the catalysts performance. BRM catalytic reaction at 800 °C having Ni-4CaO/Al2O3 catalyst, proved greatly in converting CH4 and CO2 with 79.6 and 87.2 respectively during the 6 h reaction. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. date: 2021 publisher: Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85112274509&doi=10.1007%2f978-981-16-3641-7_26&partnerID=40&md5=32dc8ce6c7b60ffa46a3e4407551bff3 id_number: 10.1007/978-981-16-3641-7₂₆ full_text_status: none publication: Lecture Notes in Mechanical Engineering pagerange: 220-229 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9789811636400 issn: 21954356 citation: Farooqi, A.S. and Yusuf, M. and Ishak, M.A.I. and Zabidi, N.A.M. and Saidur, R. and Khan, A. and Abdullah, B.
