Steam reforming of ethanol-phenol mixture on Ni/Al2O3: Effect of magnesium and boron on catalytic activity in the presence and absence of sulphur

- Ethanol-phenol mixture is steam reformed over Ni-Al2O3 at 800-900 K.
- Magnesium oxide increases activity but decreases sulphur resistance.
- MgO modifies alumina activity inducing bigger Ni particles formation.
- Addition of boron decreases activity with poor effect on S resistance.
