Hydrogen production by steam reforming of simulated liquefied natural gas (LNG) over nickel catalyst supported on mesoporous phosphorus-modified alumina xerogel

- Hydrogen was produced by steam reforming of simulated liquefied natural gas (LNG).
- Ni/P-modified Al2O3 catalysts (Ni/XPA, X = P/Al molar ratio) were prepared.
- Physicochemical properties of Ni/XPA strongly depended on P/Al molar ratio.
- An optimal P/Al molar ratio was required for maximum hydrogen production.
