Nickel-hydroxyapatite as biomaterial catalysts exhibited high activity and selectivity in glycerol steam reforming. The catalytic steam reforming of glycerol (C_3H_8O_3) for the production of hydrogen is carried out over nickel supported on hydroxyapatite [Ca_5(PO_4)_3(OH)] catalyst at 600 ℃ with atmospheric pressure and 120 minute time reaction. The catalysts were prepared by mean of wet impregnation method and varied nickel loadings (3, 6, 12 %) on hydroxyapatite. It is found that the 3% wt% Ni/HAP show higher hydrogen production rate over the other nickel loadings on hydroxyapatite, which is correlated with Ni/HAP catalyst surface area measured by BET adsorbtion and morphology of catalysts. Glycerol steam reforming with water-to-glycerol feed ratio 8/1 much more hydrogen production (77-82%) compared feed ratio 4/1. The catalysts were characterised by BET surface area and SEM-EDX techniques.
