A METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION OF LIGHT HYDROCARBONS FROM GAS WITH HIGH METHANE CONTENT, A SOLID OXIDE FUEL CELL USED FOR THE PRODUCTION OF LIGHT HYDROCARBONS FROM GAS WITH HIGH METHANE CONTENT, AND A CATALYST FOR THE PRODUCTION OF LIGHT HYDROCARBONS FROM GAS WITH HIGH METHANE CONTENT

摘要

The present invention refers to the conversion of gaseous or gasifiable fuels with high methane content, such as natural gas, biogas, synthesis gas of gas originated from various industrial process rejects, with or without prior desulfurization and elimination of other contaminants, in a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC), with special anodes, based on mixed oxides or metal oxides with a perovskite type structure, either or not nanostructured, into light hydrocarbons, primarily ethylene and ethane.
