Although ethanol dry reforming is an attractive carbon utilization technology, problems of severe coke formation and low catalytic activity should be solved for realization the technology. We demonstrate effects alkali metal additives (lithium, sodium, potassium) on nickel catalyzed reforming. Potassium doped catalyst (Ni/K2O-Al2O3) showed enhanced durability in Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA)...

The supported K2O–V2O5/Al2O3 catalytic system was designed to create surfaces that were 100% acidic, 100% basic, 100% redox, mixed redox-acidic and mixed redox-basic. The resulting nature of the surface sites was controlled by the impregnation of the specific additives (K-basic or V-redox/acidic), their order of impregnation and their surface coverage. The exact locations of the surface methoxy...

In this manuscript we report crystal structure of a new complex binary phosphate K2Ce(4+)(PO4)2 in K2O-P2O5-CeO2 system prepared by solid state reaction at moderate temperature conditions. The prepared material was characterized by powder X-ray diffraction using lab source and synchrotron radiation as well as thermal analyses, Raman scattering, FTIR, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic studie...
