Structure and size effects on the catalytic properties of complex metal oxide compositions in the oxidative conversion of methane

Results are given for a study of the effects of structure and size on the characteristics of catalysts derived from oxides of transition metals (Mn, Fe, Ni, Co, Cu) and aluminum and zirconium oxides modified by rare earth oxides, yttrium oxide, and scandium oxide as well as samples doped by platinum group metals (Pt, Pd) on their catalytic properties in the oxidative conversion of methane by means of partial and extensive oxidation, steam, dry, and oxy-dry-steam conversion (tri-reforming) of methane.
