In this study, the LPG steam reforming reaction was investigated on nickel catalysts supported on four various zeolites (H-Y, Na-Y, HZSM5 and Ferrierite). The catalytic tests were performed in a tubular fixed bed stainless steel reactor (I.D. 10 mm) at 650°C. Results revealed that type of support and specific surface area have significant effects on the activity and selectivity of the prepared catalyst. In this way, Ni/Na-Y catalyst exhibited the highest surface area (696.4 m2/g) among the prepared catalysts. Also, this catalyst showed a low degree of coke formation and consequently, high stability in LPG steam reforming process. Ultimately, The catalytic results showed that the Ni/Na-Y catalyst possessed the highest LPG conversion (95.7 %), H2 yield (48.6%) and stability in this reaction.
