CATALYSTS AND PROCESS FOR REFORMING OF HYDROCARBONS

摘要

The present invention is directed to catalysts for the production of a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide by carbon dioxide reforming as well as to the precursors of such catalysts. The catalyst precursors include a mixture of nickel oxide and an oxide of cubic structural type which is an oxygen ion conductor at elevated temperatures. Processes for the preparation of such catalyst precursors and catalysts are also disclosed as are processes for producing a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide by carbon dioxide reforming of a hydrocarbon feedstock.
