Abstract
Silica deposition on the benchmark aqueous phase reforming (APR) catalyst Pt/γ-Al2O3 is studied to prevent or limit hydrolytic attack of the support under hydrothermal APR conditions, for which boehmite formation by support hydration is a known cause for catalyst deactivation. Tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) is employed as a silicon source in
