Influence of Promoter Type on Bimetallic Co-Ni/Al 2O3 Catalyst for Steam Reforming of Glycerol

Biodiesel is produced from a variety of renewable sources including waste cooking oil. However, its production has led to a glut of glycerol (a by-product, in the amount of 1 mol of glycerol for every three of fatty acid methyl esters). Glycerol presently has low-level and limited use in pharmaceuti...
