Popis: Methane oxidative steam reforming (OSR) performance of two bimetallic Pt-Ni/δ-Al 2 O 3 catalysts, having Pt:Ni loadings, 0.2:10 and 0.3:10, were tested first. In the tests, residence time (W/F), carbon-to-oxygen (C/O 2 ) feed ratio, and temperature were used as the experimental parameters. Increase in temperature resulted in direct and indirect - through enhanced TOX yielding higher energy - increase in SR rate. As Pt:Ni metal loading ratio did not lead to significant changes in activity, the preliminary kinetic tests to determine merely kinetically controlled region were conducted over 0.2Pt-10Ni catalyst. Considering the outcomes of the preliminary tests, the kinetic experiments were performed for practical reaction conditions extending up to 20% methane conversion with feed ratio intervals of 4.0 2 −1 and pre-exponential factor as 0.110 μmol mgcat −1 s −1 kPa −2.85 for the 375–450 °C temperature interval. The same analysis performed for a narrower temperature range, 375–425 °C, gave k 0 and E A values as 0.251 μmol mgcat −1 s −1 kPa −2.85 and 29.17 kJ mol −1 , respectively, confirming the high sensitivity of OSR pathway to temperature.
