CO2 methanation is an effective strategy for making full use of waste gases and converting them into valuable chemicals. Nowadays, the key challenge is the design of efficient catalysts to enhance low-temperature catalytic performance. The present work studies the effect of metal type on the catalytic performance of yttrium oxide-supported catalysts for CO2 methanation reaction. Ru/Y2O3, Ni/Y2O3, and Co/Y2O3 catalysts were prepared by wetness incipient impregnation method, characterized using N2-adsorption/desorption isotherm, XRD, FTIR, and H2-TPR and TGA techniques to evaluate the surface, crystal phase, and thermal stability. The catalytic test was conducted with the use of a fixed-bed reactor under atmospheric pressure. The temperature of catalytic performance was 350 °C with a supply of H2: CO2 molar ratio of 4 and a total flow rate of 200 mL/min. The main products of the reaction were CH4, and traces of carbon monoxide were present among the products. The methane yield reached 64.67%, 60.03%, and 50.82% over Ru/Y2O3, Ni/Y2O3, and Co/Y2O3 catalysts, respectively.
