Nickel catalysts are commonly used in many industrial processes including the hydrogenation, hydrotreating, hydrogenolysis, methanation and steam reforming of hydrocarbons. The aim of the present paper was to describe the influence of various physicochemical properties of nickel-supported catalysts on the course of coking in the steam reforming of n-butane as well as the influence of the concentration of B 5 sites on the surface of the catalyst on the course and mechanism of the hydrogenolysis of simple alkanes.
