Nickel on Al2O3 supported catalysts with low and high metal loading (8 and 16 wt. %) were synthesized, using the conventional incipient wetness and wet impregnation methods, as well as a slightly modified Equilibrium Deposition Filtration (EDF) technique. Calcined, reduced and used catalysts' properties were determined by applying several characterization techniques such as, N-2 adsorption-desorption, ICP-AES, XRD, TEM H-2-TPR and carbon analysis. The catalytic performance for the biogas dry reforming reaction was studied concerning CH4 and CO2 conversion, H-2 and CO yield and the produced gas mixture's H-2 to CO molar ratio. It was proven that the variation of the synthesis method, affects the catalyst's reducibility, as well as the nickel species' particle size. Catalysts with the low Ni loading present an improved performance when reduced at higher temperature (800 degrees C). Catalytic behavior was quite different for the 8Ni/Al-edf catalyst, in comparison to the samples prepared by the conventional incipient wetness or wet impregnation methods.
