The current paper reports on the kinetics of syngas production from glycerolcatalytic pyrolysis over Ni/α-Al2O3 catalyst promoted by lanthanum. The 3 wt%La-20 wt%Ni/77 wt%α-Al2O3 catalyst was synthesized and its physiochemical properties were characterized. The BET specific surface area was 2.20 m2....
