Abstract
Microbeam PIXE technique was used to measure nickel distribution on in dividual silica particles, 60-200 mu m in sizes, in nickel oxide catal ysts supported on a silica base. A 2.5 MeV scanning proton microbeam o f about 5 mu m resolution was used. The catalysts were synthesized wit h 1% and 5% nickel loadings and then calcined at 400 degrees C. Effect s of the nickel loadings and the calcination treatment on the nickel d istribution were studied.
