Kinetic study on phenol steam reforming reaction using bimetallic Ni-Co/ZrO2 was performed. The reaction order was determined through a power law kinetic model based on the Langmuir–Hinshelwood–Hougen–Watson (LHHW) and Eley–Rideal (ER) postulations. The phenol and steam behaved based on non-dissociative adsorption.
