N2 - In-situ DRIFTS experiments have been carried out to investigate the mechanism of the CO2 reforming of methane at 600°C over a Pt/ZrO2 catalyst and these have been used to postulate a mechanism for the reaction. CH4 dissociation occurs on the Pt and the resultant carbon species react with lattice oxygen species from the ZrO2. The CO2 then replenishes the lattice oxygen, a slow step in the reaction.
