Ceria-boosted Ni/Al2O3 catalysts for enhanced H2 production via acetic acid dry reforming by Nguyen, Anh-Tam, Ng, Kim Hoong, Kumar, Ponnusamy Senthil, Pham, Thuy-Phuong T., Herma Dina, Setiabudi, Yusuf, Mohammad, Pham, Le Kim Hoang, Thao, Bui T. Thu, Aishah, Abdul Jalil, Mahadi, Bahari, Al-Kahtany, Khaled, Vo, Dai-Viet N.

“…In this work, Ce pro motion on 10%Ni/Al2O3 catalysts with 1-5 wt%Ce was evaluated for ADR at varied temperatures of 923–998 K and stoichiometric feed in a fixed-bed rig. CeO2 addition of 1–3% enhanced metal dispersion, and surface area whilst basic CeO2 character significantly boosted the concentration and density of basic sites on catalysts. …”
