In this study, the kinetics of glycerol pyrolysis over a 3wt%Pr-20wt%Ni/77wt%α-Al2O3 catalyst was investigated. The catalyst was synthesized via wet-impregnation method and was characterized using temperature-programmed calcination (TPC), temperature-programmed reduction (TPR), N2-physisorption, FES...
