Abstract
The present invention provides a process and catalyst for the autothermal and dry reforming of methane to produce syngas. The process provides a direct single step gas phase reforming of methane or natural gas to syngas over Ni—Pt supported nanocrystalline ZrO2. The process provides methane conversion of 54-99% with H2/CO ratio of 1.14 to 1.42 (mol %) in the temperature range of 250 to 750 800° C. at atmospheric pressure.
