Influence of Promoter Type on Bimetallic Co-Ni/Al2O3 Catalyst for Steam Reforming of Glycerol

摘要

Introduction The present work deals with steam reforming of glycerol over a Co-Ni/Al2O3 catalyst system promoted by alkaline earth oxides (AEO) and lanthanide oxides (LO). The addition of metal oxide from these two groups reportedly minimizes carbon deposition with possible improvement in product selectivity and syngas production rate. Our objective was to provide a systematic correlation between physicochemical properties of the promoted catalyst and reaction metrics.
