Ni-Infiltrated Spherical Porcelain Support as Potential Steam Reforming Microchannel Reactor.

This paper describes the fabrication of kaolinite (AlO-2SiO-2HO) spherical bulbs by slip casting. The bisque-fired parts present a porosity of about 30% with submicron porosity confirmed by scanning electron microscopy. In addition, plate-like grains with channels were observed.
