A Ni/apatite-type lanthanum silicate supported catalyst in glycerol steam reforming reaction

In the glycerol steam reforming reaction a 5 wt% Ni/La 9.83 Si 4.5 Fe 1.5 O 26±δ catalyst was found to be active and up to 3.2 times more selective to H 2 than a 5 wt% Ni/Al 2 O 3 catalyst, especially at low temperatures (<500 °C).
