The Mn-SBA-12 and Mn-SBA-16 catalysts with Si/Mn output molar ratio in the range 230 to 748 were prepared by the direct hydrothermal synthesis method and characterized. Weak acidity and Mn in +3 oxidation state are the key factors enable the synthesis of product amide in high yields. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.</p>},

	abstract = {<p>The conversion of greenhouse gases, H-2 and CO selectivity, H-2/CO ratio, and carbon formation in the dry reforming reaction over Ni-supported ZSM-5, Al2O3, and TiO2 are tested under thermal, plasma, and plasma-thermal conditions. It is observed that the dielectric nature, specific surface area, and acid-base properties of the support influence the performance during the DRM reaction. Typical results indicate that the best activity and syngas yield are achieved with 15Ni/Al2O3 under plasma conditions, possibly due to the high dielectric constant and surface area of Al2O3 and nanosize of Ni. In the thermal condition, the highest conversion of 73\% and 68\% for CH4 and CO2, respectively, is achieved over 15Ni/ZSM-5 at 500 degrees C. Plasma-assisted thermal conditions provide the highest conversion due to the activation of reactants and their partial conversion in the plasma zone before entering into the catalytic zone. The plasma-assisted thermocatalytic conversions of CH4 and CO2 reach the best values of 76\% and 71\%, respectively, on 15Ni/ZSM-5. Under the same conditions, 68\% and 65\% conversion of CH4 and CO2, respectively, is achieved with 15Ni/Al2O3 where the selectivity for H-2 and CO is 45\% and 58\%, respectively.</p>
