The structure of nickel catalysts supported on Loy Yang brown coal by an ion-exchanging method during thermal treatment was studied by an XAFS technique. The exchanged nickel species aggregated to metal particles during pyrolysis and hydrogasification. The aggregation behaviour of nickel species depended on the amount of nickel loaded and/or treatment atmospheres.
