Preparation And Characterization Of Co-Fe/Al2o3 Catalyst For Steam Reforming Of Ethanol
Steam reforming of ethanol has been studied using various catalysts. Bi-metallic catalysts which are Cobalt and Iron supported on Aluminium Oxide is one of the candidates for steam reforming of ethanol that is capable to produce hydrogen. Iron loading on Cobalt had a positive effect on promotion of...
