Production of Synthesis Gas with Various Compositions of H2, CO, and CO2 from Methanol and Water on a Ni–K/Al2O3 Catalyst

Abstract
Mixtures of H2, CO, and CO2 were produced over a Ni–K/Al2O3 catalyst from methanol and water. The composition of the mixtures, in particular the H2/CO ratio, was extensively varied by changing reaction conditions such as starting ratio of methanol/water.
