The need and development of cleaner and greener alternative technologies using the heterogeneous catalytic are very important in fuel synthesis. Hydroxyapatite-supported Ni-Ce-Cu as biomaterial catalysts were synthesized and characteristic to study their potential to be used for glycerol reforming to hydrogen production. The catalysts have been prepared by deposition-precipitation and impregnation method for hydrogen production via aqueous phase reforming (APR) with varying the amount of nickel, cerium and copper. The catalysts were characterized by BET surface area, X-ray diffraction, and SEM-EDX techniques. It is found that the difference percent weight of Ni, Ce, Cu loading prepared via deposition-precipitation method shows a significant effect for the surface area, distribution of metals and crystallization of catalysts. The highest BET surface (61,11 m2/gr) and uniformly metals distribution on the surface Hydroxyapatite (HAP) area was noticed for catalysts composition containing much more Ce and Cu. © RASĀYAN.
