2 Background CO 2 reforming : CH 4 + CO 2 → 2CO +2H 2 catalyst  Methane is available in huge quantity, besides burning, there are many way to utilize it. Coupling reaction: CH 4 + CH 4  C 2 H 6 + etc… Synthesis gas Steam reforming: CH 4 + H 2 O → CO + 3H 2 Synthesis gas Aromatization: nCH 4  C 6 H 6, C 10 H 8 + …

3 Background CH 4 + CO 2 → 2CO +2H 2 cat.  Numerous studies on CH 4 /CO 2 reforming reaction using Ni-based catalysts. CO 2 + H 2  CO + H 2 O Synthesis gas Problems: (i) Low yield ( ~55%) (ii) Carbon deposit (~after 1 hour) Our studies:  Reverse water-gas shift (RWGS) reaction over La 2 NiO 4 catalyst during CH 4 /CO 2 reforming by continuous wave cavity enhanced absorption spectroscopy (CEAS). Associated reaction:

10 Results (1) The conversion of CO 2 over La 2 NiO 4 catalyst was nearly 8.0 % higher than that of methane, attributable to the contribution of RWGS reaction: CO 2 + H 2  CO + H 2 O  H = + 41 kJ/mol (2)The H 2 O formation in RWGS reaction increases as the temperature of the catalyst increases because of the formation of more H 2. CH 4 + CO 2 → 2CO + 2H 2 (More than one channel for the consumption of CO 2 )

13  Cavity enhanced absorption spectroscopy(CEAS) is an excellent technique for monitoring catalytic reaction in situ.  The reverse water-gas shift (RWGS) reaction promoted the conversion of CO 2 and decreased the partial pressure of hydrogen.  With high sensitivity, it is envisaged that chemical intermediates such as HCO, OH and CH 3 radicals produced in catalytic reaction could also be detected and studied.
