TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive thermodynamic analysis of reactions occurring in the methanation of carbon oxides (CO and CO2) is conducted using the Gibbs free energy minimization method.

TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive review of methanation catalysts for coal-or biomass-derived carbon oxides for production of synthetic natural gas (SNG) is provided, covering reaction thermodynamics, mechanism and kinetics, the effects of catalyst active components, supports, promoters and preparation methods.

TL;DR: In this article, the Ni/Al2O3 catalysts for synthetic natural gas production were systematically investigated by tuning a number of parameters, including NiO and MgO loading, calcination temperature, space velocity, H2/CO ratio, reaction pressure, and time.

TL;DR: In this article, a series of ternary Ni-V-Al metal oxide composites with desired structure and composition were designed and synthesized via a facile one-pot evaporation-induced self-assembly strategy and are used in CO methanation reaction to produce synthetic natural gas.

TL;DR: In this article, a new strategy to synthesize the hierarchical mesoporous zeolite through design of mesoscale cationic surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) micelle with cosolvent tert-butyl alcohol (TBA) and the 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene (TMB) additive is reported.
