The La9.83Si5Fe0.75Al0.25O26±d, apatite oxide prepared by solid state synthesis was applied as a supporting material for a 8wt% Ni catalyst. Apatite oxide and catalyst (fresh, reduced and used) samples were characterized by means of the XRD, SEM, TEM techniques. Catalytic testing experiments were performed using a fixed bed reactor at temperatures ranging from 400 to 700 oC with a feed consisting of C3H8Ο3 (20% v/v.) and H2O in the liquid phase. ER -
