Methods of making a CeZrOsupported NiMg catalyst extrudate are provided. In some aspects, the methods include preparing a ceria-zirconia solution comprising Ce(NO).6HO, ZrO(NO)xHO, and water; forming a precipitate; drying and calcining the precipitate to produce a CeZrO; adding a nickel-magnesium solution to the CeZrOto produce the NiMg/CeZrO; and drying and calcining a wet extrudate of the NiMg/CeZrOto produce the CeZrOsupported NiMg catalyst extrudate. CeZrOsupported NiMg catalyst extrudates made by the methods are also provided.

Mixed metal oxide extrudate catalyst

In some embodiments, method for producing liquid fuel from landfill gas, the method including providing landfill gas to a tri-reformer, performing a tri-reforming process on the landfill gas within the tri-reformer to convert the landfill gas into synthesis gas, wherein the tri-reforming process combines carbon dioxide reforming, steam reforming, water-gas shifting, and methane oxidation and wherein the synthesis gas has a H:CO ratio of approximately 2:1, providing the synthesis gas to a Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) reformer, and converting the synthesis gas into liquid fuel within the FTS reformer.

Systems and methods for producing liquid fuels from landfill gases

In some embodiments, a system for producing liquid fuel from landfill gas includes a tri-reformer that receives landfill gas and produces synthesis gas having a H:CO ratio of approximately 2:1, and a Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) reformer that receives the synthesis gas from the tri-reformer and produces liquid fuel.
