Potential of Empty Fruit Bunch Clinker as a Support for Nickel and Cobalt Catalysts in Methane Dry Reforming: Waste to Wealth Approach

Potential of Empty Fruit Bunch Clinker as a Support for Nickel and Cobalt Catalysts in Methane Dry Reforming: Waste to Wealth Approach

The current work reports on the synthesis of 20 wt% Co/80 wt% EFB clinker and 20 wt% Ni/80 wt% EFB clinker catalysts via wet-impregnation technique, followed by various characterization techniques such as BET, XRD, XRF, TGA and FESEM. The BET specific surface area of 20 wt% Co/80 wt% EFB clinker and...
