Abstract
The catalytic activity of Ni3Al for methane steam reforming was investigated for the first time using its atomized powder. It was found that the activity was significantly enhanced by the combined pretreatment of acid and alkali leaching, while it was quite low for the as-received powder. The high activity was attributed to the formation of fine Ni particles on the porous surface of the powder.
