Abstract

The general objective of this work is to study the synthesis methods, structural and morphological behavior of hexaaluminates and their performance as catalysts in the dry reforming reaction of methane from aluminum salt slags. Specific objectives: 1. Valorize the saline slag of aluminum and mitigate its polluting effect. 2. Obtaining an optimal method for the synthesis of hexaaluminates from salt slags. 3. Evaluation of the performance and applicability of catalysts in the dry reforming reaction. 4. Determination of the optimal operating parameters of the catalysts. 5. Determination of efficiency and comparison with catalysts synthesized with commercial precursors.
