CH4 is a powerful greenhouse gas that is thought to be one of the main causes of global warming. The catalytic conversion of methane in the presence of oxygen into hydrogen-rich syngas, known as the partial oxidation of methane (POM), is highly appealing for environmental and synthetic concerns. In search of a cheap catalytic system, the Ni-supported MgO-based (5Ni/MgO) catalyst and the promotional supplement of 1–3 wt.% Sr over 5Ni/MgO are investigated for the POM reaction. Catalysts are characterized by N2 sorpt…
