Mesoporous MCM-41 materials were obtained using Rice Husk Ashes (RHA) as silica source. Ni-based catalysts were synthesized using two metal incorporation methods, one-pot synthesis combined with microwave heating, and incipient wetness impregnation. Smaller Ni particles were obtained by the former method. The catalyst denominated Ni-MCM had the best performance in the dry reforming of methane reaction at 873 K. High stability was also obtained even after 100 h on stream at 973 K. The mesoporous structure and Ni nanoparticles were not significantly modified, as observed by TEM microscopy. Besides, a very low amount of carbon deposits was detected employing several techniques in the Ni-MCM catalyst used at 973 K.

使用稻壳灰（RHA）作为二氧化硅源获得了介孔MCM-41材料。使用两种金属结合方法，一锅法结合微波加热和初期湿润浸渍法，合成了镍基催化剂。通过前一种方法可获得较小的Ni颗粒。以Ni-MCM为催化剂的催化剂在873 K的甲烷干法重整中具有最佳性能。即使在973 K运转100 h后也获得了高稳定性。 TEM显微镜。此外，采用几种技术在973 K的Ni-MCM催化剂中检测到极少量的碳沉积物。
