AB  - Ni-based catalysts supported on ceramics are particularly suitable for industrial applications, for instance reforming of hydrocarbons to produce synthesis gas or hydrogen and production of carbon nanofibers. Conventional synthesis processes for all metal/ceramic catalysts are impregnation, precipitation, co-precipitation and others. The authors have previously developed a novel process for the synthesis of Ni-based catalysts supported on reticulated ceramic foams, including impregnation of foams with ultrasonically generated aerosols of dissolved metal chlorides. By using appropriate multi-criteria analysis methods, the authors concluded that the novel process for the synthesis of Ni-based catalysts was superior in terms of economic and technological aspects. The aim of this research was to compare the novel synthesis processes for a Ni-Pd/Al2O3 catalyst and for other Ni-based catalysts by performing life cycle assessment and evaluating the environmental impacts of each synthesis process. Characterisation results showed that the dominant environmental impact results from production of palladium (II) chloride for the Ni-Pd/Al2O3 catalyst synthesis process, while the other catalyst synthesis process had large environmental impacts associated with high energy consumption. The final outcome, obtained from comparison of normalisation results, indicates that the novel Ni-Pd/Al2O3 catalyst synthesis process had the smallest environmental impact.

AB  - Catalysts based on the Ni/Al2O3 system are used in a variety of catalytic processes. Catalysts are commonly synthesized through thermochemical routes (impregnation, precipitation, coprecipitation and others). The authors prepared a Ni-Pd/Al2O3 catalyst supported by a ceramic foam, using a novel method, whereby the foam was impregnated with aerosol. This paper evaluates the synthesis methods for the experimentally obtained Ni-Pd/Al2O3 catalyst in comparison with other Ni-based catalysts, using three multi-criteria analysis methods (SAW, TOPSIS and PROMETHEE II). The synthesis methods for Ni-based catalysts were compared with respect to the following parameters: preparation method, addition of the precipitation agent during preparation, forming and mixing precursors, filtration, drying procedure, calcination, reduction, and the presence of NiAl2O4. The final results indicate that the synthesis method for the Ni-Pd/Al2O3 catalyst is the best ranked in comparison with the others.
