A novel and potentially economic preparation technique, thermally impregnation (TI), was developed to incorporate catalytic active materials (i.e., Ni) onto olivine. The approach allows for the synthesis of attrition-resistant Ni−olivine catalysts. Comparative studies were performed over Ni−olivine catalysts prepared by TI and traditional incipient wetness impregnation (IWI), as well as olivine without Ni. Various characterization techniques such as BET surface area analysis, temperature-programmed reaction/oxidation/reduction, XRD, and XPS were performed to examine the catalysts. The Ni−olivine catalyst prepared by TI demonstrated improved activity and “coke selectivity” compared to the olivine support, indicating that Ni is necessary for enhanced activity. Additionally, the Ni−olivine catalyst prepared by TI showed similar high-temperature activity and decreased coke deposition rates compared to similar formulations prepared by IWI. Stronger interactions between Ni and the olivine support for the TI cat...
