Abstract

The objectives of the Dissertation of the Final Year Project report is to record all
relevant findings from literature reviews regarding the project of Preparation and
Characterization of Co-Ni/Al203 catalyst for steam reforming of Acetic Acid. The main
objectives of this project is to study the methods of preparing the catalysts for steam
reforming of acetic acid, to prepare theCo-Ni/Ai203 catalysts for steam reforming of
acetic acid using impregnation method and to study the characteristics of C0-N1/AI2O3
catalysts. The background of the project is described in Chapter 1. Some literature
researches were done in order to study the available methods for preparing catalyst
supported on metal. There are three methods of introducing metal precursor, which is
either by impregnation/ion exchange, co-precipitation and deposition precipitation. For
this project, the catalysts were prepared by impregnation method and undergone several
characterization measurements such as X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron
Microscopy (SEM) and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller method (BET). Further explanation for
the methodology is discussed in Chapter 3. The results obtained from the
characterization measurements were analyzed and discussed in Chapter 4. At the end of
this project, it is found that the catalysts were successfully prepared by impregnation
method and characterized for XRD, SEM and BET. However, catalyst testing was not
done dueto some technical problem. In Chapter 5, the conclusion and recommendations
for this projectis discussed.
