For the work presented herein nickel catalysts supported on γ-alumina extrudates (Ni/Al) with an egg-shell structure were prepared, using a modified Equilibrium Deposition Filtration (EDF) technique. Their performance was compared, for the biogas dry reforming reaction, with corresponding Ni/Al catalysts with a uniform structure, synthesized via the conventional wet impregnation method. The bulk and surface physicochemical characteristics of all final catalysts were determined using ICP-AES, N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms, XRD, SEM, and TEM. A theoretical model describing the impregnation process for the EDF extrudates, based on the Lee and Aris model, was also developed. It was concluded that following specific impregnation conditions, the egg-shell macro-distributions can be successfully predicted, in agreement with the experimental results. It was shown that the Ni/Al catalysts with an egg-shell structure had a higher H2 yield in comparison with the ones with a uniform structure. The difference in catalytic performance was attributed to the improved surface and structural properties of the egg-shell catalysts, resulting from the modified EDF technique used for their preparation.
