Catalyst deactivation via coking, poisoning, and re-oxidation were the main challenges. Therefore, various formulations were designed to optimize key features of the catalysts. A novel MgO-Al₂O₃ support (WI.800) was developed, which led to materials with higher activity and coke resistance vs. commercial counterparts. Thus, NiLaGa/WI.800 outstood in methane reforming and impurity tolerance, displaying real-world application potential.<eng> Open Access Urheberrechtsschutz 1.0 vorgelegt von Santiago Sebastian Gonzalez GutachterInnen: Sebastian Wohlrab (Leibniz Institute for Catalysis e.V.) ; André Von-Held Soares (Fluminense Federal University, Brazil) Dissertation Universität Rostock 2025 540 https://purl.uni-rostock.de/rosdok/id00005267 Development and evaluation of heterogeneous catalysts for the reforming of methane-rich gases to synthesis gas--(DE-627)1967762163 urn:nbn:de:gbv:28-rosdok_id00005267-9 doi: 10.18453/rosdok_id00005267 oclc: 1582318398 ppn: (DE-627)1967760691
