Highly active and coking‐resistant Ni catalysts suited for the dry reforming of CH 4 ‐rich gases (70 vol %, e. g. biogas or sour natural gas) were prepared starting from a Mg‐rich Mg−Al hydrotalcite support precursor. Calcination at 1000 °C yields two phases, MgO and MgAl 2 O 4 spinel. Complexation‐deposition of Ni with citric acid on the preformed support as well as lanthanum addition yields a catalyst with remarkably low carbon accumulation over 100 h on stream attributed to both high Ni dispersion and preferred interactions of Ni with MgO on MgAl 2 O 4 .
