Catalysts composition was determined by Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) technique, using IRIS Intrepid II XDL equipment. Textural Properties of the catalysts were determined similarly as for the supports. For the XRD analysis, the same apparatus was used as for the supports to identify the phases and to calculate the average particle size of the crystallites by means of the Scherrer's equation (d ¼ (K*l*180)/(B *cosq*p)) [20,21]. The sweeping used for all the samples was from 5 to 70 at a rate of 2 min1. JCPDS-ICDD standard spectra software was used to determine the crystallographic phases
