“…For example, cobalt (Co) has attracted recent interest as the second metal to be used with Ni in the supported catalysts [1,2,10,15,19,21,28,31,32]. In some of these studies the effect of the Ni:Co ratio has also been considered and it appears that a Ni:Co ratio of 3:1 is most suitable [2,33]. Unfortunately, the improved activity of the most active Al 2 O 3 supported Ni-Co catalyst was accompanied by increase in the amount of carbon deposited when tested at a moderate reaction temperature of 873 K [33].…”
