Nn. Nichio et al., Influence of the support and precursor compounds on the sintering and coking of supported nickel oxyreforming catalysts, REACT KIN C, 66(1), 1999, pp. 27-32
In this paper the activity, selectivity and mainly stability of nickel cata
lysts in the oxyreforming reaction are analyzed. The catalysts were prepare
d employing different precursors (nickel nitrate and nickel acetylacetonate
) on alpha-Al2O3 and alpha-Al2O3 modified by a layer of aluminium oxide. Th
e catalytic sample obtained from nickel acetylacetonate on the modified sup
port showed the best stability.
