METHOD FOR PRODUCING SYNTHESIS GAS FROM NATURAL GAS USING A PROMOTER AND CERIA IN THE FORM CE203

摘要

The present invention concerns a process for producing hydrogen from a feed of natural gas using a promoter and ceria in the form of Ce2O3 by reacting the ceria with the promoter in the presence of water for oxidizing the ceria into CeO2 and processing the produced CeO2 and promoter for reducing CeO2 into Ce2O3 through the production of synthesis gas. It is also described promoters suitable for performing the process.
