N2 - In the present study, the stability of Ni supported on γ-Al2O3 modified with CeO2 (10 and 20 wt%) catalysts during the biogas dry reforming reaction for syngas production was investigated. Specifically, time-on-stream experiments were conducted at different reaction temperatures and Weight-based Hourly Space Velocities (WHSVs); CH4 and CO2 conversions, and H2 and CO yields were systematically recorded over time-on-stream for all catalysts. Calcined and reduced catalytic samples were characterized using N2 adsorption/desorption, inductively coupled plasma spectrometry (ICP), X-ray diffraction (XRD), temperature programmed reduction and desorption (H2-TPR, NH3-and CO2-TPD). The addition of ceria provided catalysts with improved activity, hydrogen selectivity and stability for the whole temperature range investigated. Thermal analysis (TGA-DTG) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) results indicated that the deposited carbon on the catalytic surface was less graphitic for the Ni/CeO2-Al2O3 ones.
