Four types of nickel catalysts supported on aluminum oxide (Ni/Al2O3) with different nickel loadings were synthesized using the co-precipitation method and were used for the hydrogenation of levulinic acid (LA) to prepare γ-valerolactone (GVL). The synthesized Ni/Al2O3 catalysts exhibited excellent catalytic activity in dioxane, and the activity of the catalysts was excellent even after being u...

Utilization of active and stable catalyst could have enormous advantages in industrial application of biogas reforming. In order to achieve this goal, the effects of Cu and Co as promoters were investigated over physical-chemical properties of Ni/Al2O3-ZrO2 catalyst in reforming of biogas. The sequential impregnation was used for preparation of catalysts. The catalysts were characterized using ...

Chan Nano-sized, nonreacting, noncoarsening Al2O3 particles have been incorporated into eutectic Sn–Zn solder alloys to investigate the microstructure, hardness and shear strength on Au/Ni metallized Cu pads ball grid...

The CO2 reforming of coke oven gas for the production of synthesis gas has been studied over an activated carbon, an in-lab prepared Ni/Al2O3 catalyst and physical mixtures of both materials in different proportions (AC+Ni) at 800 oC. It was found that there are two possible coexisting reaction pathways: the direct dry reforming of methane (decomposition of methane followed by gasification of t...

Three bimetallic Ni-Co (Ni:Co ratio 1:3, 1:1 and 3:1) two monometallic (Ni Co) nanoparticles supported on Al2O3 were synthesized by incipient wet impregnation characterized various technics (N2-physisorption, XRD, H2-TPR, CO-chemisorption elemental analysis). It was demonstrated XRD that NiCo alloys present solids. The catalytic properties of all catalysts determined for the hydrodeoxygenation ...

The electroless deposition method was used to prepare Ni-based nanocomposite coatings, this approach represents an alternate way of having coatings on the different substrates. Most previous literatures subject and work deals with a study effect process conditions and, Bath composition microstructure at macroscale Ni-Al2O3 composite coatings. Though, step structure bath are little, present aims...
