Bimetallic catalysts for CO2 capture and hydrogenation at simulated flue gas conditions

In this study we attempt to replace some of the Ru in the DFM with less expensive Ni and demonstrate the advantages and disadvantages of this replacement. The main advantage of the presence of Ni is an increase in CO2 adsorption and increase in methane produced, however, at the expense of a lower methanation rate. Extended cyclic aging studies corroborate the stable performance of 1% Ru, 10% Ni, 6.1% “Na2O”/Al2O3.Graphical abstract
