Abstract
The present invention provides a Ni—Zr oxide catalyst and a process for the preparation of the catalyst. The invention further provides use of the catalyst for the production of synthesis gas (a mixture of CO and H2) by Tri-reforming of methane. The process provides a direct single step selective vapor phase partial oxidation of methane to synthesis gas over Ni—ZrO2 catalyst between temperature range of 600° C. to 800° C. at atmospheric pressure. The process provides a methane conversion of 1-99% with H2 to CO mole ratio of 1.6 to 2.2.
