Effects of Ni and Pd metals catalyst on Gamma Alumina support

Catalysts containing Ni or combinations of Pd, Cu and Zn on gamma alumina support have been developed for testing in autothermal methanol reforming reaction. The hydrogen produced by the catalytic reforming of methanol is targeted to be used as a feed for fuel cell. The reaction for reforming of met...
