This study investigated the kinetics of methane dry reforming (MDR) over a Ga-Ni/ZrO2 catalyst synthesised by the sequential wet impregnation method. The Ga-Ni/ZrO2 catalyst was characterised through field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) and N2 physisorption analysis. This revealed its suitable morphology, elemental composition and textural properties. Kinetic measurements were conducted in a fixed-bed reactor, and the resulting data were fitted to two Langmuir-Hinshelwood-Hougen-Watson (LHHW) models. The MDR reaction over the Ga-Ni/ZrO2 catalyst followed the LHHW models, with the competitive adsorption of CH4 and CO2 on the active sites of the catalyst playing a significant role. The rates of CH4 and CO2 conversion increased with temperature and partial pressure, displaying a non-linear trend that plateaued at higher pressures due to surface saturation effects. This study’s findings underscore the potential of Ga-Ni/ZrO2 as a catalyst for MDR, offering an environmentally and economically viable pathway for greenhouse gas utilisation and hydrogen-rich syngas production.
