The catalyst was prepared by using impregnation method and tested in a fixed-bed reactor. X-ray diffraction measurements studied the formation of Co3O4, spinel CoAl2O4 and CeO2, phases on surface of 5%Ce-10%Co/Al2O3 catalyst. CeO2, CoO and Co3O4 oxides were obtained during temperature–programmed calcination. Ce-promoted 10%Co/Al2O3 catalyst possessed high BET surface area of 137.35 m2 g-1. C2H5OH and CO2 conversions was improved with increasing CO2 partial pressure from 20-50 kPa whilst the optimal selectivity of H2 and CO was achieved at 50 kPa.</p>}, number={1}, journal={International Journal of Innovative Research and Scientific Studies}, author={Fayaz, Fahim and Sulaiman, Ahmad Ziad and Singh, Sharanjit and Akbari, Sweeta}, year={2018}, month={Sep.}, pages={6–10} }
