The present invention provides a coke resistant catalyst and process for sequestration of carbon dioxide via reforming of methane to synthesis gas (a mixture of CO and H). The process provides a direct single step selective vapor phase carbon dioxide reforming of methane to syngas over gadolinium promoted mesoporous Ni-ZSM catalyst. The process provides almost 11-95% conversion of methane with Hto CO ratio of 0.82 to 1.

Coke resistant solid catalyst, process for the preparation thereof and a process for vapour phase dry reforming of methane

The present invention provides a process and catalyst for the conversion of phenol and its derivatives to cyclohexane and cyclohexanol. The process provides a direct single step for selective hydrogenation of phenol and its derivatives over Pt&#x2014;Ce oxide catalyst. The process provides a phenol conversion of 50 to 100% and selectivity of hydrogenated product up to 98%.
