| Abstract | The reforming of methane by carbon dioxide for the production of syngas is a potential technological route for the mitigation of greenhouse gases. However, the process is highly endothermic and often accompanied by catalyst deactivation from sintering and carbon deposition. Besides, the applications of dissimilar catalytic systems in methane dry reforming have made it difficult to obtain generalized optimum conditions for the desired products. Hence, optimization studies of any catalytic system often resulted in a unique optimum condition. The present study aimed to investigate optimum conditions of variables such as methane (CH4) partial pressure, carbon dioxide (CO2) partial pressure and reaction temperature that will maximize syngas yields from methane dry reforming over samarium oxide supported cobalt (Co/Sm2O3) catalyst. The Co/Sm2O3 catalyst was synthesized using wet-impregnation method and characterized by thermogravimetric analysis), field emission scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction and nitrogen (N2) physisorption. Syngas production by methane dry reforming over the synthesized Co/Sm2O3 catalyst was investigated in a stainless steel fixed-bed reactor. The process variables (CH4 partial pressure, CO2 partial pressure and reaction temperature) for the syngas production were optimized using response surface methodology (RSM). The RSM and artificial neural networks (ANNs) were used to predict the syngas production from the experimental data. The comparative analysis between the two models showed that the ANN model has better prediction of the syngas yields compared to the RSM model as evident from the good agreement between the observed and the predicted values. At maximum desirability value of 0.97, optimum CH4 and CO2 partial pressures of 47.9 and 48.9 kPa were obtained at reaction temperature of 735 °C resulting in syngas yield of ~79.4 and 79.0% for hydrogen (H2) and carbon monoxide (CO), respectively. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
