Promotional Effect of Ce-dopant on Al2O3-supported Co Catalysts for Syngas Production via CO2 Reforming of Ethanol

The effect of ceria promotion on Co/Al2O3 catalysts for ethanol dry reforming has been investigated at stoichiometric feed composition and 973 K under atmospheric pressure. Ce-promoted catalysts were synthesized using a wet co-impregnation method and evaluated in a quartz fixed-bed reactor. X-ray di...
