Effects of small MoO3 additions on the properties of nickel catalysts for the…

Abstract. Addition of molybdenum to nickel catalysts has a favourable effect on their properties in the steam reforming of hydrocarbons. Some attempts were made to explain the mechanism of promoter action by determining the properties of such catalysts in hydrogenolysis and cracking reactions.With small amounts of promoter (≤0.5 wt.%) advantageneous changes in selectivity of steam reforming …
