Nickel Oxide Catalyst Supported on Activated Carbon
Hey all,
I'm trying to make a nickel oxide catalyst supported on an activated carbon substrate. The surface interaction will need to be fairly strong, or
maybe even a chemical bond because the catalyst is to be used as an aqueous oxidation catalyst. Any ideas on how to make the catalyst?
Thanks

Ignition of the nitrate admixed with finely divided activated carbon is the way this is done.

It's pretty obvious, but I'll point this out anyways, you'll have to use an excess of carbon.
Another possibility is mixing carbon and another nickel salt with low decomposition point.

All I have to work with is an already pelletized form of carbon, which is what I want end result, and nickel nitrate hexadydrate. Would an insipient
wetness loading followed by calcination work? I can calcine up to 500C and keep the carbon under an inert environment

Look here: http://www.rhodium.ws/pdf/nickel-on-charcoal.pdf
and here: http://www.rhodium.ws/pdf/nickel-on-charcoal.preparation.pdf
There is a lot of information about nickel on carbon.
