%0 Journal Article %T Global CO2 Recycling Through Methanation Reaction Using Neodymium Doped Nickel Oxide Catalyst %A MOHD HASMIZAM RAZALI %A WAN AZELEE WAN ABU BAKAR AND NOR AZIAH BUANG %J Journal of Sustainability Science and Management %D 2010 %I %X Methanation reaction using nickel oxide and neodymium doped nickel oxide based catalyst was studied. Doping nickel oxide with neodymium results in higher catalytic activity than a pure nickel oxide catalyst with 100% methanation of CO2 at a low temperature of 350oC. Characterization of the neodymium doped nickel oxide by a XRD, SEM and nitrogen gas adsorption suggested that a small portion of the catalyst showed amorphous properties and that the small sized particles of this catalyst may contribute to the high catalytic activity. %K CO2 %K Methanation %K Neodymium %K Nickel Oxide %K Catalyst %U http://jssm.umt.edu.my/files/2012/01/13.Dec10.pdf
