Abstract: Methods of making a Ce0.6Zr0.4O2 supported NiMg catalyst extrudate are provided. In some aspects, the methods include preparing a ceria-zirconia solution comprising Ce(NO3)3.6H2O, ZrO(NO3)2xH2O, and water; forming a precipitate; drying and calcining the precipitate to produce a Ce0.6Zr0.4O2; adding a nickel-magnesium solution to the Ce0.6Zr0.4O2 to produce the NiMg/Ce0.6Zr0.4O2; and drying and calcining a wet extrudate of the NiMg/Ce0.6Zr0.4O2 to produce the Ce0.6Zr0.4O2 supported NiMg catalyst extrudate. Ce0.6Zr0.4O2 supported NiMg catalyst extrudates made by the methods are also provided.
