Novel catalysts for synthesis gas generation from natural gas

摘要: New calcium aluminates, CaO·xAl2O3 or CAx, catalyst shapes and formulation have been developed to fit various reactor designs process requirements for the production of synthesis gas (syngas). The CAx has demonstrated be a good support both base precious metals syngas applications. Excellent mechanical catalytic properties achieved. Catalysts Ni/CAx Rh/CAx reach equilibrium conversion in steam reforming CH4 at temperatures as low 460°C 480°C respectively hour space velocity (GHSV) 25,000 that is 10 times typical commercial reformer. catalysts show higher activity than Ni/α-Al2O3 CO2 mixed CH4. are more resistant coke formation. available industrial
