SYNTHESIS OF Cu/CeO2/Al2O3 CATALYST FOR STEAM REFORMING OF METHANOL

SYNTHESIS OF Cu/CeO2/Al2O3 CATALYST FOR STEAM REFORMING OF METHANOL

Previous research showed that the Al2O3, synthesized hydrothermally in an autoclave bombs at high temperature and pressure, is a good solid support for Cu-based catalysts in steam reforming of methanol. In this study, Cu-based catalysts, which is Cu/CeO2/Al2O3, was synthesized using impregnation met...
