A Received 30 December 2014 mesoporous Ni/Al2 O3 catalyst was then prepared via impregnation of Ni(EDTA)2− complex anions onto Received in revised form 29 May 2015 positively-charged mesoporous alumina support (denoted as NiE/MA). For comparison, a mesoporous Accepted 16 June 2015 Ni/Al2 O3 catalyst was also prepared by introducing nickel species onto MA support via conventional Available online 18 June 2015 impregnation method (denoted as Ni/MA). Both NiE/MA and Ni/MA catalysts were applied to the hydro- gen production by steam reforming of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in order to investigate the effect of Keywords: preparation method on the catalyt
