Pyrolysis of Methane on Ni–La–Cu–AlO and Ni–Fe–Cu–AlO Catalysts

Two methane pyrolysis catalysts, 80%Ni–5%LaO–5%Cu–10%AlO and 70%Ni–10%Fe–10%Cu–10%AlO, obtained by the solution combustion method (SCM) using urotropine as the fuel component, were studied. The textural characteristics, activity, and stability of the catalysts under various reaction conditions were studied, and a comparative analysis of their activity with known catalysts obtained by a similar method was conducted. The influence of catalyst composition on the efficiency and stability of the catalysts during methane pyrolysis was revealed.
