La2O3/gamma-Al2O3, NiO/gamma-Al2O3 and NiO/La2O3/gamma-Al2O3 samples have been prepared by conventional impregnation, using silica-free gamma-Al2O3 support. The materials have been characterized, as such or after reaction, with XRD, skeletal IR, UV-vis-NIR, XPS and FESEM techniques. The catalytic activity has been evaluated in ethanol...

Lanthana on alumina samples (0.2, 0.8 and 4.7 theoretical monolayers) were prepared by incipient wetness impregnation using γ-Al2O3 as support. Characterization has been performed by BET, XRD, skeletal FT-IR, DR-UVvis, XPS, HR-TEM, IR spectra of the surface OH, adsorbed pyridine and CO2, and isopropanol TPD. Ethanol conversion was investigated...
