In the current paper, dry(CO2)-reforming of glycerol, a new reforming route, was carried out over alumina(Al2O3)-supported, non-promoted and lanthanum-promoted nickel(Ni) catalysts. Both sets of catalysts were synthesized via a wet co-impregnation procedure. Physicochemical characterization of the c...
