Abstract

Three types of nickel metal catalyst supported on silica gel have been prepared using impregnation, ion exchanged sodium hydroxide and ion exchanged ammonia methods, in order to investigate the influence of preparation methods on metal dispersion and catalyst structure. All the catalyst samples had a nominal nickel loading of 5 percent(w/w). After preparation, the catalysts were activated by a drying stage followed by calcination and reduction. Various spectroscopic techniques were then used to characterize the catalyst precursors and the amination of ethanol was used to test the activity of each reduced catalyst.
