Abstract

The morphology of nickel-containing phases at each stage during the treatment of a 12%Ni/SiO2 catalyst was studied. Liquid impregnated catalyst initially shows nickel nitrate uniformly dispersed on the surface of the silica in the form of a film. After calcining, large rafts of NiO with faceted surface pits are seen. The reduced catalyst contains bunched nickel particles or large rafts on the surface of the silica.
