Crude glycerol, a by-product of biodiesel production, has drawn considerable attention to the importance of glycerol valorization through dry reforming reaction to obtain syngas. The selection of suitable catalysts is significantly important to enhance the catalytic activity in glycerol dry reforming (GDR) reactions. Hence, Ru with different loadings (i.e. 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%) doped in 15% Ni-extracted Al2O3(EA) was evaluated as catalyst via GDR process in this study. The catalyst prepared by ultrasonic-impregnation assisted technique was subjected to 8 h of CO2 reforming of glycerol. The reactant conversions and products yield was in the order of 3% Ru-15%Ni/EA > 5%Ru-15%Ni/EA > 4%Ru-15%Ni/EA > 2%Ru-15%Ni/EA > 1%Ru-15%Ni/EA > 15%Ni/EA, while the quantity of carbon deposited was in the order 15%Ni/EA > 1%Ru-15%Ni/EA > 2%Ru-15%Ni/EA >4%Ru-15%Ni/EA > 5%Ru-15%Ni/EA > 3%Ru-15%Ni/EA. 3%Ru-15%Ni/EA attained the greatest glycerol conversions of 90%, H2 yield of 80% and CO yield of 72% with the lowest carbon deposition of 7.38%.
