The catalytic performances of aluminium and silicon modification on cellulose-supported nickel catalyst for CO2 hydrogenation were studied. The catalysts were prepared by the incipient wetness impregnation method. Nickel (20 wt%) was impregnated onto the aluminium modification (2, 6 and 12 wt%) and silicon modification (2, 6 and 12 wt%) of Avicel and dried at 100°C for 24 hr. Then, the samples were calcined under air condition at 200°C for 24 hr. CO2 hydrogenation was carried out at 220°C and 1 atm for 5 hr. The catalysts were characterized by SEM, EDX, XRD, BET and TGA. The experimental results showed that CO2 conversion and rate of reaction were improved when using aluminium loading on the support. The highest CO2 conversion (99.51 %) and rate of reaction (63.98 gCH2/gcat.hr) were obtained when using alumina loading of 6 wt%. In case of selectivity, silicon had important effect to improve selectivity and thermal stability of catalysts. The maximum selectivity (83.57 %) was reached over 2 wt% of silicon.

Metal-Support and Metal-Additive Effects in Catalysis, Volume 11, documents the proceedings of an international symposium organized by the Institut de Recherches sur la Catalyse - CNRS – Villeurbanne and sponsored by the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, Ecully (Lyon), September 14-16, 1982. This volume contains 40 manuscripts that cover a wide range of topics. Among these are studies of metal-support interactions involving Pt/Al2O3, Pt/TiO2,Fe/TiO2, Pt/MgO, Rh /Al2O3, and Pt/CeO2 catalysts. There are also separate chapters dealing with ethane, n-butane, and cyclohexane hydrogenolysis; skeletal isomerization of methylpentanes; the catalytic activity and selectivity of noble metals; CO hydrogenation over supported on SiO2, Al2O3, Ti O2,and Zr O2 nickel catalysts; and the role of promoters in Pd catalysts for methanol synthesis. Subsequent chapters cover the poisoning of platinum and nickel by sulfur; C6H6 and CO chemisorption on Pt78Ni22 (111) single crystal alloy; the surface composition of industrial ammonia synthesis catalysts; and the role of alkalis and electronegative promoters on Fe and Ni catalysts.
