PROCESS FOR PRODUCING REFORMING CATALYST AND REFORMING OF METHANE

摘要

A catalyst for the reforming of hydrocarbon-comprising compounds with CO2, water and/or hydrogen, a process for producing the same, and a process using the same for the reforming of the hydrocarbon-comprising compounds are provided. The production of the catalyst is based on contacting, intimately mixing and thermal treating of a hydrotalcite-comprising starting material with a fusible metal salt, which more preferably comprises nickel nitrate hexahydrate, to result in the metal salt melt. After molding and shaping, the compounds are subjected to high-temperature calcination step. In addition, the process using the catalyst for the reforming of the hydrocarbon-comprising compounds is carried out in a temperature range from 500 to 1100 °C at a pressure in the range from 2 to 70 bar. The catalyst is distinguished from the prior art by physicochemical properties.
