Hydrogen production from glycerol dry reforming over Ag-promoted Ni/Al2O3
In recent times, glycerol has been employed as feedstock for the production of syngas (H2 and CO) with H2 as its main constituent. This study centers on dry reforming of glycerol over Ag-promoted Ni/Al2O3 catalysts. Prior to characterization, the catalysts were synthesized using the wet impregnation...
