(a) Equilibrium conversion as a function of temperature. (b) Activity of pristine zirconia support within a temperature range of 600–800°C with GHSV 72000 ml/hr·gcat. (c) Activity of synthesized catalysts in terms of %CH4 conversion as a function of time at a temperature (T = 750°C, p = 1 bar, GHSV = 72000 ml·h−1·). (d) Activity of synthesized catalysts in terms of %age CO2 conversion as a function of time at a temperature (T = 750°C, p = 1 bar, GHSV = 72000 ml·h−1·). (e) H2/CO ratio in the product stream (T = 750°C, p = 1 bar, GHSV = 72000 ml·h−1·).
